On our final day at the temples we visited two interesting temples, The Bayon with it's 54 towers each of which has four carved faces on it and Bapuon temple with it's massive reclining Buddha and it's colourful history. Both temples were amazing, The Bayon with it's very intricate and ornate carvings and decorations was a sight to behold. Bapuon was disassembled by the French piece by piece before the Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia and was subsequently rebuilt after the regimes downfall without the detailed plans for where each of the stones belonged.
