Siem Reap: More Temples

Bayon is famous for its smiling faces but this one is particularly worth noting. This smiley face graces a Cambodian Riel note. I think our guide said it's the 200R.


A kiss for the silent and stone-cold.


Death by abandonment and strangulation at Ta Prohm.


Small and pretty Banteay Srei. Salmon pink stones with the most intricate and beautiful carvings.


Bas reliefs.
Clockwise from top right: grilling sate, Banteay Srei detail, Chinese soldiers (note the topknots), elephant with the forerunner of the bullet-proof windshield!
