Today we are outside Siem Reap and we are exploring the Temples of Angkor starting with
Angkor Thom.
The most fascinating thing about Bayon are the cold faces that have a hint of a smile.
This massive complex has 54 towers with 216 faces on them.
Over here we have the Terrace of the Elephants. It is 350 meters long. This was once used
as a viewing platform from where you could watch the ceremonies that took place for the
King.
Well, we're traveling right now in Cambodia in April and it is the hottest time of the
year here. It is always hot in Cambodia but this is literally the worst month. I'm just
sweating buckets. As a tip for people coming here - if you want to come at bit of a cooler
time from December to January or even February it is a great time to come. It is also peak
season here so you will be sharing it with more tourists but you won't be sweating as
much.
