Bayon
Unique even among its cherished contemporaries,Bayon epitomises the creativwe genius and inflated ego of Cambodia's legendary king, Jayavarman VII. It's a place of stooped corridors, precipitous flights of stairs and best of all a collection of 54 gothic towers decorated with 216 codly, smilling, enormous of 'Avalokiteshvara' that bear more than a resemblance to the great king himself.
