Cambodia Pictures: Angkor Thom

The south gate to the temple city of Angkor Thom. Those are demons lining the road on the right; matching gods line the road on the left.

Aside from the cars, vans, bicycles, and motorbikes coming in and out of the gate, you would also see Cambodians riding elephants around.

After you went through the gate, you had to drive farther down a dirt road to get to the center temple.

This is the same center temple from the back. This is Team Hardcore: Those Who Trek Through the Jungles of Cambodia. Left to right: Bart Stout, Kevin Kitchens, me, Marianna Jewell, Carlanna Cunningham, Lane Clark, and Kristen Kerns. (We have many group pictures, so I won't name them anymore.)

This particular temple in Angkor Thom, Bayon, is famous for all of its eerie faces watching everyone.

The temples are really crumbling in places. Many of these bricks are also bricks from the outer walls that have been moved and labeled for restoration and then never replaced.

An example of the carvings on the wall. Imagine this for hundreds of meters down long walls and several meters high. It was crazy-intricate.

We found lots of windows and doorways to take pictures in.
