Bayon Temple feels like a warrior monk’s stronghold. It’s not the biggest in Angkor, but it packs a unique punch — over 200 massive stone faces carved into its towers, each smiling with mysterious confidence. These faces follow you everywhere, like silent generals overseeing the battlefield. The passageways are narrow, the carvings tell tales of battle and devotion, and the whole place feels alive with ancient energy. There’s grit in these stones; they’ve stood through wars, storms, and centuries without losing their edge. If Angkor Wat is the crown, Bayon is the warrior’s medal of honor. #holidayitinerary
