Angkor Thom is another well-known complex dating from the 12th Century but built in a slightly different style to Angkor Wat. The main temple is called Bayon and is covered in face carvings on all sides believed to be of the King who built the complex. Well, he didn't build it himself, his thousands of minions did. As you can see from all the faces, he obviously liked himself. Similar to Angkor Wat, there are also lots of stone carvings (bas reliefs) on the walls.
