The Bayon Ankor Thom

The Bayon is the first temple the tourists see after entering the south gate of Ankor Thom. The 12th century Buddhist temple is famous for its carved faces towers which face cardinal points (what these cardinal points are, I don't know). Quite an awesome structure to see and explore, couldn't help but feel guilty that I was one of the thousands of tourists pouring thru this fragile structure, currently under restoration by a Japanese team.
