Bayon

Late 12th century to early 13th century

King: Jayavarman VII   Religion: Buddhist

Bayon, covered with the giant faces of the Buddha was incredible. While my
first impression or Angkor Wat was of its size, Bayon feels more intimate.
The face of the Buddha everywhere, you spy a soft silhouette through a door
way, and find that each face has a different smile. The all-seeing Buddha is
beautifully expressed in this temple.
