The second temple I saw was Bayon. This temple truly left me speechless, I was constantly in awe of what I saw. It was almost unimaginable to think how these temples were constructed and how well they had been preserved over thousands of years. This temple was one of my favorites. It was filled with identical Buddha heads, all in uniform size and shape. I marveled at these features.
The second part of this temple was across the street, which was equally incredible. This massive structure was a maze filled with crumbling ruins. Around every corner was another section that left me astonished. In this temple, we climbed to the top to overlook the land and other temples below. When I was at the top, I envisioned what it would have been like thousands of years ago when this place was flourishing with life. As we were taking in these beautiful views, we ended up getting poured on for about fifteen minutes. The refreshing rain and the surreal monuments was a perfect combination.
After exploring this temple for more than an hour, we were finally enroute to the famous Angkor Wat temple!
