When I went, there was no one else there! It was so cool having this beautiful temple all to ourselves (the group I went with). We were able to walk through the temple, soaking in the detail and beauty that was built so long ago. The temple appears to be less intact than its neighboring Ta Prohm and Angkor Wat temple but that's what is so beautiful about this temple. There is something about being so close to something so ancient and untouched.

The Bayon Temple gives us some of the best photo opportunities amongst all the temples - referring strictly to selfies here. Would have liked some more time here.. the walls are adorned with the story of the king avenging the enemies and how did the city get the name Siem Reap. The temple in itself is quiet an architectural wonder which has been well maintained to a certain extent. One thing I would suggest is that you sufficient amount of time to explore the place and not get rushed.....

One of the best temples in Angkor (right in the middle of the large Angkor Thom site), this is included in the 'small circuit' tours and a stop here should feature in any trip to Angkor, even if you only have 1 day. What is distinct about this temple is the large serene faces sculpted onto the towers, facing in all four directions; we have not seen anything like it. The faces are incredible well preserved.

This temple is also out of this world, especially with the dozens of faces looking benevolently at the visitors. It does get pretty crowded, but there still are good opportunities for stunning photos. As in the case of Angkor Wat, do get a guide or guidebook to tell you what to look for and take your time. There is plenty to see.

Bayon temple is one of the tourist attraction in Angkor. It is a famous Khmer cultural temple and old one built in 12th/13th centuary by the King Jayavarman. It is also called as Kings temple. Renovation work is under progress. It is famous for array of towers and the architecture is of Khmer dynasty. Guide informed that in this area more number of banyan trees were there.

Heart of Angkor Thom where many buddha faces will be seen. Boyon is a highlight of your visit to Angkor. Remmeber to stop at the Angkor Thom South Gate for photos. I was at Bayon last week (December 2023), but it was pity that the top level of the temple was closed for restoration. However, it is worth visiting.

Amazing and superb. the overall Angkorwat temple complex itself very good. These are ruins but considering a 1000 years time span and the way its preserved, its absolutely stunning. bayon temple is one of the group temple with in the Angkorwat circuit i would say. Lot of walking needed, so be prepared.

Bayon turned out to be one of my favorite temples in Siem Reap. I loved it even more than Angkor Wat. The architectures and carved details were just gorgeous. And there were monkeys running around! I got to make videos of them! Absolutely check this remarkable temple out!

This temple was awe inspiring. It is huge. There are 54 towers decorated with 216 Buddha faces. Some towers have a Buddha face on each side. The carvings inside showing battles but also everyday life were very interesting

We spent the afternoon here after doing Angkor Wat at sunrise in the morning. It was not nearly as crowded and was nice to have less people milling about. Our tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable about the area. Highly recommend doing this as well.
