The Bayon

27th May 2004.

The Bayon is rated as the second top attraction in Angkor.

There are a total of 54 gothic towers decorated with 216 faces. In true Angkor style the scale is awesome.

Overview of the Bayon and its towers.

Apsaras were abundant.

The king is a crackhead seen here smoking Opium.

... and we found a cokehead laying around as well.

This man makes a small fortune convincing non-buddists it would be rude to walk but this deity and not leave him a tip.

Jo and Claire are praying and paying (for the joss sticks).

More faces, they are getting creepy. Wherever you go they are watching.

More praying and paying.
