Cambodia » Angkor Thom

The main highlight of Angkor Thom is the Bayon, a temple with many stone faces carved into the walls and towers. Bayon is smaller than Angkor Wat but is at least as spectacular. We also visited Prasat Kravan, Preah Khan, and other temples within Angkor Thom, but Bayon was certainly the most enjoyable.
