Angkor Thom and Bayon

I went up to Ankgor Wat again early on and then walked the few kilometres to the Angkor Thom area, visiting more sites along the way.

  • Rong Lmung
  • Phnom Bakheng
  • Phnom Bakheng
  • Baksei Chamkrong
  • Road to South gate
  • View from bridge near South gate
  • South gate of Angkor Thom

The walk was fine apart from a downpour of rain where I had to take shelter under some trees. When the weather improved I carried on to Bayon where I met Angela and the kids who arrived later on. (Angela says: We recognised that perhaps our enthusiasm for the temples was slightly more than Sam and Martha’s so I stayed and played with them and we got a tuktuk later on to meet Mike at Bayon. Bayon turned out to be my absolute favourite of all the temples, just love those faces).

Bayon was built in the 12th century and contains many towers decorated with faces. This was to be our last temple in the Angkor area so the plan was to stay for sunset and get some nice photos.

Unfortunately it was a bit cloudy but we still got some great shots.
