Cambodia Siem Reap “Bayon Temple”

#Southeast Asia Travel Angkor Thom, Siem Reap Cambodia Daily 07:30~17:30 A Buddhist temple from the late 12th century famous for its “Khmer smile” faces in the east, west, south, and north The French say that the Buddha attained enlightenment under the Banyan Tree, so they named this temple with many Buddha figures carved in it “Banyan Temple” :) When Cambodia became independent, the local Cambodians could not pronounce this “Banyan” properly, so they started calling it “Bayon”, and this has stuck and is still called Bayon Temple :) #Cambodia
