Ken and Desley in Laos and Cambodia
The second part of our trip to the Temples took us to the area known as Angkor Thom.
Of our total "Angkor Wat" time of seven & a half hours, we spent quite a lot of it at Angkor Thom - in particular, Bayon, the temple of King Jayavarman VII.
This is one of the more commonly photographed temples, given the 216 enigmatic stone faces (of the Buddhist Bodhisattva, Avalokitesvara) that adorn it.
A fascinating place and although more 'ragged' in appearance than Angkor Wat, it is a very special.
Enjoy the associated photos.
