The Bayon is part of the Angkor Thom complex and was built by Jayavarman VII between 1181 and 1220. More than 200 enormous Buddha faces stare down on visitors from the towers of the temple.

Stone figures line the bridge leading to Angkor Thom
Five gates surround the fortified city of Angkor Thom, each topped by a tower with four faces of Avalokiteshvara (the Buddha of compassion)
A typical Cambodian gas station, on the road to Angkor Wat
Women perform traditional Khmer dancing at a local restaurant in Siem Reap
