Sun Set in Angkor Wat, explore South Gate, Bayon plus Street Food

The Bayon is a richly decorated Khmer temple at Angkor in Cambodia. Built in the 13th century as the state temple of King Jayavarman VII, the Bayon stands at the centre of Jayavarman's capital. The Bayon's most distinctive feature is the multitude of serene and smiling stone faces on the many towers which jut out from the upper terrace and cluster around its central peak. You'll see its beautifully crafted central towers, covered in more than 200 enormous faces. The temple has two sets of bas-reliefs, which present a combination of mythological, historical and mundane scenes. The outer wall of the outer gallery features a series of bas-reliefs depicting historical events and scenes from the everyday life of the Angkorian Khmer. The inner gallery bas-reliefs depict mythological events.

Angkor Wat is the largest religious monument in the world. It was built in the 12th century. As the best-preserved temple, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre since its foundation. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It has become a symbol of Cambodia. Angkor Wat is the best place to watch the Sun Set. The sun set is always a fun thing to do, especially when we are traveling. It is not that the Sun looks prettier but because of the places and environments surrounding it. Listen to the explanations of your expert guide, then spend time venturing into the central chambers of the temple, where your local guide will reveal the history, myths and stories depicted on the stone bas-reliefs (the longest bas-reliefs in the world). Your knowledgeable guide will ensure that your visit to Angkor Wat leaves you with a rich understanding of the history and purpose of the great temple, and also of the mighty khmer civilisation.

Spend time at Prom Rath Pagoda, the historical Buddhist temple complex with colorful pagodas on sizable grounds with gardens. It is the oldest Buddhist monastery in the Town. Here, your guide will teach you a little about the dominant religion in the Kingdom of Cambodia.
