Yet all put in the shade by forcing lower lid without words and a lot of speculation and slightly curved lips and face, eye wrote the P Jennerat de Beerski in the 1920s. In general, the four sides of each of the above shape of the tower and Kannon Bodhisattva, they are recognized can mean the ubiquity of the king. This facial features - wide forehead, wild tendency of the nose, thick lips, a slight upward Carl famous "Angkor smile" has to reflect the combined end.  

LAYOUT

       The characteristics of the Bayon is no outer walls. It is, however, that surrounds the city of Angkor Thom is protected by a wall. The basic plan of the Bayon is a simple, including the following three levels (1-3). The first and second level gallery of the square with a bas-relief. The center of the circular sanctuary is dominated by the level of the third. Despite this seemingly simple plan it is complicated by the US in connection with step how to create a layout creates passages and galleries to distinguish dim lighting levels substantially narrow sidewalk, the low ceiling of the Bayon.

One at each corner, one on each side of the center - this gallery are scattered in the top eight entries. 8 and all the appearance of a cross structure. Gallery Maybe at first probably was covered with the root of the tree.

     Tip: The roof on this post member is enough light for you to show visitors a day and always shooting the subject. The two galleries bas-relief will be divided according to the raised level.     The second or inner gallery is a different level of difficult passages, while the gallery several times first or outside is all one level.

So stop on each hole and forget enhoy a face view of the third level is not absorbed in the relief.

         Bas-relief of Bayon consists of two galleries. What's inside is decorated with scenes of the myth. Bas saegimneun previously outside the gallery has significantly deviated from those found in Angkor. They are life-markets, fishing, including the sex of the magician cockfights and festivals and so on, and scenes of fighting and marching and history. While remedies are turned more deeply etched than Angkor Wat, it is less stylized representation. Scene is mainly present in two or three horizontal panels.

Wellcome To Pattaya , Thailand

Wellcome To Pattaya , Thailand

Pattaya is known for its numerous dive sites and lively nightlife and large expat influence.
On the wrong side of town however, which seems to be most of it, Pattaya has a very different feel from many other Thai seaside towns. Where one would often find shapely Scandinavians sunning themselves on the shore, the bustling metropolis of Pattaya offers a somewhat different landscape.. how can I say it, in Pattaya, some of the larger seasonal mammals are found on land
On the right side of town the accommodation can be clean and reasonable, the food and drinks are some of the more reasonable priced and well prepared that the Thai cities offer.
On your first visit to this little corner of paradise you may be struck by the contrast between the glassy waters offering up to 30 meters of visibility, and the walk back to your hotel through the throngs of cheerful Russian expats and their definitely-legal Thai brides, as they negotiate a 20 baht discount at perfectly reasonable volumes.
thank you.

Wellcome To Preah Vihear province

Wellcome To Preah Vihear province

Preah Vihear province, which borders Thailand and Laos to the north, is home to three of the most captivating temples of the Angkorian era: the Preah Vihear temple, the Koh Ker temple, and the Preah Khan Kampong Svay temple. It also houses communities of many ethnic hill tribes.


The temple of Preah Vihear, dedicated to Shiva, is situated on the edge of a plateau that dominates the plain of Cambodia. The temple is composed of a series of sanctuaries linked by a system of pavements and staircases over an 800 metre long axis and dates back to the first half of the 11th century AD. Nevertheless, its complex history can be traced to the 9th century, when the hermitage was founded. This site is particularly well preserved, mainly due to its remote location. It is exceptional for the quality of its architecture, which is adapted to the natural environment and the religious function of the temple, as well as for the exceptional quality of its carved stone ornamentation.
Koh Ker used to be a capital of the Khmer Emperor King Jayavarman IV who built this city in the year 921AD. Some parts of the temples are still hidden in the jungle and are not accessible. The Preah Vihear temple is most significant in this province.

A unique architectural complex of a series of sanctuaries linked by a system of pavements and staircases on an 800 metre long axis, this temple is an outstanding masterpiece of Khmer architecture, in terms of plan, decoration and relationship to the spectacular landscape environment.

Preah Khan Kampong Svay, also known as Prasat Bakan, is a complex of gigantic proportions located in the southwest corner of Preah Vihear province. It covers an area 4 times that of the Angkor Wat with a 3 km long Baray and a large number of towers or Prasats within the compound. Largely unknown and rarely visited, the temple had been very badly looted over the years.

Through the energetic efforts of the Royal Government of Cambodia under the wise, brilliant leadership of Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo HUN SEN, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, Preah Vihear Temple was listed and declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO on July 8, 2008.
