This temple is together with Angkor Watt the most popular attraction in the archaeological site of Angkor. The Bayon is so well-known because of his richly decorations in Khmer architectural style with ,for example, the 200 smiling faces and the more than 50 towers.
The position is also unique since it's exactly in the middle of the city with direct access to the 4 main gates.

Bayon Temple or Angkor Thom temple is one great temple locate in Siem Reap where many other wonder temples in. This Temple has many for 4faces which designed very different shape and smile . It's my favorite one and I never miss to stop by there to visit every i travel there. Bayon has also a secret well where they believe if you drop floating things then it will appear in Baray lake.

This must be a five star place. I spent more than 20 hours here looking every piece and found every story. One day I had eight hours here and I did not eat anything except a bottle of water （no toilet in this eight hours.because it is too hot I am totally wet）. It is not necessary to have a guider as if you stay long enough you will learn every story from guiders everywhere. In fact, you will notice that not every guider has the same story about the same piece. Some stories are not true so it is better that you have your own research. Read a book about Bayon before visiting otherwise you just need maybe 1-2 hours to see the site. Oh, the nearby toilet is not free and need 3 minutes walk to get there. There are more people in the morning so it is better to come after 11am. But after that time it is tooooooo hot. Please be aware of that and bring enough water with you to avoid bad luck. Enjoy.

Another ruin in Seim Reap. This ruin is a special and unique one. On the rocks/stones, faces of buddhas are sculptured, showing a smile which seems to tell us to be calm, to be peaceful and to be happy. The size of this ruin/temple is a bit smaller compared to some others but it is still pretty amazing. Thinking about the technology before, you will feel bewildered how they made these carvings. The only thing negative about this ruin is that the staircases are very, extremely steep. It is easy to fall off when you are walking up or down. Do beware of the staircase, and take care of elderly.

At Cambodia’s Angkor Thom, my path crossed that of Annmon, a Buddhist monk who can be seen in the accompanying photo below gazing upon Bayon Temple—perhaps considering its secrets. He quickly became a new friend. Words fail to adequately capture the profound and poignant quality emanating from the insights on life he shared with me. By the end of our conversation, I noticed my face starting to hurt because of how much I was smiling.

Another of the must-see temples, this is famous for the multitude of face carvings that adorn the top of the towers.

It can get extremely crowded among the narrow paths and steep steps, so watch your footing especially after a downpour.

There are a number of photo opportunities, including posing as if to kiss a face, but expect to wait as half the crowd seems to want to do the same thing.

Easily my favourite part of the entire temple area around Siem Reap. The carved faces are spectacular and it really is a magnificent temple - took my breath away. You cannot afford to miss this temple!
If you're going to get up sunrise at Angkor Wat (hugely overrated) go straight here rather than in to Angkor Wat to get the place to yourself and just a few others. Gets far too busy once people come from Angkor Wat.

And unless you're a vile monster, do NOT support the cruel, abusive practice of getting an elephant ride here.

This temple is characterized by its four smiling faces which adorn most of the site. If you climb the small stairs you will come up to a small statue inside a small room. The door likes stones that covers the enterance of some rooms is decorated with interesting engraving.

Stunning temple with a remarkable outer bas reliefs. Worth starting in the South East corner and moving clockwise to read the pictorial story.

One of my favorite temple. Known for its smiling Buddha and its intricate details and carvings. Best viewed in the early mornings or late afternoon. Just stunning.

Bayon Temple, one of the most beautiful and impressive monument in Angkor Thom.

54 towers, each with an smiling face facing to each cardinal points (216 total) has grated it the name of The face Temple.

Don't forget to admire the more tan 1200 mts o gorgeous bas-relief describing the every day life of the Khmer empire

Bayon temple is one of the famous temples in the Angkor Archeological Park, beside many other monuments and ancient temples in its 400 square km stretch. Angkor Wat is recognized as the largest Hindu temple in Asia. Angkor became a UNESCO Heritage Site in 1992. Bayon temples are famous for the stone faces of predominantly Khmer King Jayavarman VII. I visited the park in 2014 and plan to revisit again in the coming year.

In Cambodia’s Angkor Thom, a Buddhist monk looks upon Bayon Temple—and possibly considers its secrets. Annmon, the aforementioned monk quickly became a new friend. Words fall far short of adequately capturing the depth of profundity and poignance present in his insights on life. By the end of our conversation, I noticed my face starting to hurt because of how much I was smiling.

The Bayon is probably the most impressive site in the Angkor Thom complex. For photography the best time to be there is obviously 5 PM but that also happens to be the time when it is the most crowded due to the fact there is no shade at the site. During the day it is stifling hot. To beat the crowds, visit at 8 AM while the light is still great for some nice shots. For a more in-depth report go to my travel blog: megaworldasia dot com

Bayon temple is a surreal place esp with its structures containing faces. This is also one of the sites where Tomb Raider movie was shot. It's in ruins but still has large area which is intact. Move around with care esp the steps are so tight, so high and even slippery that tourists who are not careful could trip down to their deaths. Thankfully, the Cambodian authorities are putting warning posters, "no entrance" signages in dangerous locations and even handle bars for those who want to go up the towers and see a top vintage point. Bayon is located in the heart of Angkor Thom city where other Khmer temples can be found.

My favorite temple for photographs by farso many beautiful faces all carved in stone amazing! Apparently, the kind was such a narcissist that instead of making the faces look like Buddha hey had they make it more look like him instead.

Impressive, I immersed myself in the details of this amazing piece of art. I didn't take a tour, but I read a lot about the history. Also, I had the privilege to go during a non-busy day/hours, I think I made my day setting my order of visit and times, just to avoid the tourist groups overcrowding the most impressive views and areas.

The temple itself is a master piece of art. Come here and you will know where the Smile of Khmer comes from. Jayavarman VII was a compassionate and capable king. Take a moment to look at the relief in the galleries, not only will you find the vivid depiction of the life of Khmer people 1000 years ago, but you will also find very interesting cross-cultural information. Take a test: can you find the image of BBQ, woman delivering a baby, and a Chinese businessman marrying a Khmer wife? If you can't find them, take a look again! :) Slow down and look carefully!

This place left me in awe! The contrast of the strong vibration and the calmness of the countless faces of Buddha so greatly magnificent yet so delicately carved with precision. I had to put my earphones on to switch off the tourist noise and fully embrace what this place is really about - immersion into silence and honour ✨
