Review & FAQ:

Angkor Thom was developed by King Jayavarman VII during the late 12th century. The name, which translates to “great city,” was the last capital city of the Khmer empire and is indeed a great place for visitors to explore. One of the most fascinating sites in modern day Cambodia is Prasat Bayon, an extremely distinguished temple from the early 13th century. The temple’s most distinctive feature are the many smiling stone faces found on the temple’s towers. Many other Angkor ruins can be found in the city as well; getting to know the mythological stories behind them can be fascinating for visitors of all ages.
