This is one of the highlights within the Angkor Thom centre. Some of these carved stone faces appear to be smiling. Have a look at the attached photos.

Bayon is one of those temples that you just must visit! It was our first stop and we spent there around 2 hours. Very beautiful and well preserved temple. The towers with stone faces are what makes Bayon so special. It was primarily dedicated to the Buddha but later altered to Hinduism and other religions.

wonderful piece of art in the jungle, next to angk kor pi temples, dont miss bayon, early in the morning if you can, its just amazing, like being in a videogame or so. little entrance everywhere, possibility to climb on top, feeling is magical

We visited the Bayon at around 11am and it wasn't too crowded. From afar the Bayon looks magnificent. Bayon is constructed from many smaller stones as compared to the other temples so there are many textures and sharp edges. Somehow this temple gave me a messy feeling maybe because of the sharp edges. Climb to the top for more upclose... More

Absolutely awe inspiring. Every temple I visited in siem reap was mind blowing. The most intricate carvings and large structures. I visited here Angkor wat and ta phrom all in one day and had the most amazing time the views were spectacular and the smiling Buddha faces are just something else.

The elephant ride INSIDE the temple was a lot of fun. Gives you a circle tour of the temple. Our elephant was the fast one, leaving the others in her dust.

This was one of the temples our guide included in our trip. It was obviously his favourite and I could see why. It was so endearing to hear him talk about his ancestors when telling us about the temple.

A stunning photo awaits if you don't look in front of you all the time. Not for the unfit, but well worth it. It was extremely hot and humid in April, and this was our 3rd and last temple of the day (couldn't take more than that in the hottest month of the year) - I skipped climbing the steps... More

There are many different smiles carved on the stone and the moment you are there, it's like you're in one of the movie - Indiana Jones.
