From afar, the Bayon temple looks like one of these sand castles kids create by letting wet sand drip from their fingers. It is at close range and especially on the third level that one will be amazed by the towers bearing the enormous smiling faces of Avalokiteshvara.
If your trip schedule permits it, I would highly recommend the visit of this site early morning as you will have the temple almost entirely for yourself from 7am to 8am. By 10am, the crowd will be so large that you will not be able to appreciate it fully. Additionally, the morning light plays with the faces and offer interesting photographic opportunities.
