View of Bayun temple with its characteristic towers with faces.

Detail on the wall of the Bayun temple, representing a battle between the Cambodians and the ancient Vietnamese on Tonle Sap lake, a soldier who felt out of the boat got bitten by crocodiles (this made a lot of impression on the kids).

The faces are beautiful and symmetrical, carved after the stones have been put together. Built at the end of the twentieth century by one of the first kings.
