"Angkor Thom is the ancient city of Angkor. Here you will find many different temples and monument remnants. The south gate has a beautiful bridge leading into the walled city with statues of the gods on one side and demons on the other.
The most prominent and impressive of the temples in Angkor Thom is the temple of Bayon. Known as the temple with the faces. This is obvious when you visit, because there are over 50 towers (including a larger central tower) that have huge carved faces visible from all four sides.
Aside from the impressive scale of the facial carvings, there are highly detailed frieze carvings all along the exterior walls surrounding Bayon.
