Angkor Thom South Gate
Approaching Angkor Thom you are first met by the grand causeway that crosses the 100 m wide moat which is flanked on either side by a Naga balustrade beginning with a massive stone carving of a seven-headed Naga (mythical serpent) being held by a multi-armed and multi-headed giant. On each side, there are 54 stone giants pulling on the body of the Naga serpent. On one side, the giants represent Devas featuring slender oval eyes and a casual smile, on the other side, depicting Asuras with round bulging eyes and grimacing faces, together representing an endless tug of war between good and evil, the polar forces generating the dynamism of life itself. Some will also connect it to the ancient myth, Churning of the Sea of Milk, as so famously depicted on the southern gallery wall of Angkor Wat, and go even further to say that Angkor Thom represents a giant mandala with the Bayon at its center, representing the famed Mount Meru.
Bayon Temple
Bayon was built by King Jayavarman VII in the late 12th or early 13th century. It was the last state temple built during the Angkor period and the only one which was a Mahayana temple dedicated to Buddha. You can explore the three tiers, gaze up to the faces looking back down at you, and imagine what it would have looked like back in the day. There are an impressive number of bas-reliefs and carvings which show scenes of the Khmer armies, apsaras, naval battles, fishermen, cockfights, and many other things. There are photo opportunities around nearly every corner. However, Bayon is a very busy place to visit.
