Things to do in Siem Reap | Siem Reap Province | Cambodia

The Bayon Temple is a richly decorated Khmer Buddhist temple at Angkor in Cambodia. Built in the late 12th or early 13th century as the state temple of the Mahayana Buddhist King Jayavarman VII, the temple stands at the centre of Jayavarman's capital, Angkor Thom. Following Jayavarman's death, it was modified and augmented by subsequent Hindu and Theravada Buddhist kings in accordance with their own religious preferences. (Wikipedia)

Traveler Notes

Bayon, the State Temple of King Jayavarman VII, in the center of Angkor Thom is famous for its multitude of serene, smiling and gargantuan stone faces of Avalokiteshvara on its many towers. In my opinion, it is the most beautiful temple in the whole Archaeological Park.
