This is the temple of the eternal smile. Such a neat place to visit. Interesting fact is that the French took a lot of artifacts from this temple for their collections back when they tried to conquer Cambodia. They are just now giving them back to Cambodia so they can restore the temple.
This is the grand gate at the entrance of Angkor Thom City. Can you see the face and the smile?
Here is another face.
Here is the main temple.
The faces face directly north, south, east and west.
Here are our eternal smiles- what a great day exploring.
This is the top of the highest point of this temple.
At night we went to an Apsara dinner show. It taught us some history about the Khmer people and the temples the kings built. It was a very good show.
Siem Reap was a great city. I would highly recommend a visit for anyone looking for some adventure. Loved the trip here!
