Siem Reap Trip - Part 5

If you have very limited time for Angkor Complex... apart from Angkor Wat, the next worth visiting temple will be Bayon.

Bayon is located at the centre of Angkor Thom, one of the Buddhist temple in Angkor, symbolised by the smilling faces (approximately 200) everywhere in the temple.


Smilling face on the tower. Each tower consists 4 faces. One at each cardinal points.

Wall of the temple depicts apsara dance. Below is the classic apsara craving at Bayon.

Yang Boon's first apsara pose. ^_^

At the centre of the tower, it was a very dark area where there was some praying activities. It's indeed a very dark area and I hardly saw what's going on in there. And suddenly somebody made a noise and I.... screamed~~ out~~ loud~~ *faint*

A snapshot of the dark place. Pretty eerie when think about it. So dark... how do they pray?

Bayon is best seen in the morning. If you are visiting Bayon, make sure you visit in the morning. According to guidebook, sunrise creates eerie effect on the faces. Hiak~
