If you see only two temples, Angkor Wat and Bayon should be the ones. The giant stone faces of Bayon have become one of the most recognizable images connected to classic Khmer art and architecture.

Bayon Temple The 12th century Bayon Temple is one of the most impressive temples located at the heart of the ancient city of Angkor Thom. Also known as the 'Face Temple', this house of worship was built by the Mahayana Buddhist King Jayavarman VII and decorated with 216 smiling faces of Avalokiteshvara. The temple was also adorned with astonishing bas-reliefs incorporating over 11,000 figures. A few decades after the death of King Jayavarman VII, the temple was turned back into a Hindu temple as King Jayavarman VIII returned to Hinduism as the official Khmer religion. Images of Buddha in the Bayon temple were destroyed and replaced with Hindu images. Many alterations have shaped the Bayon temple over time. Its most distinctive feature, the multitude of serene and smiling stone faces have resisted all changes and can be admired on the remaining 37 towers. At the height of the Khmer empire, the temple comprised 54 towers with each of them representing a province that was ruled by the Khmer Empire under King Jayavarman VII. The design, architecture, and decoration of the Bayon temple could not be more different to Angkor Wat. The temple, however, is equally impressive and attracts many visitors each year.
