Our final stop in our tour of Angkor Thom would be the Terrance of the Elephants, named for the elephant carvings eastern face. It was used by the king as a viewing platform, where he could watch his victorious army return home.

Baphuon: The Temple Mountain
After the Temple with Many Faces, our next stop in Angkor Thom was Baphuon, also known as the golden mountain. It is a three-tiered temple made to resemble a small mountain. Originally dedicated to Shiva, it now serves as a Buddhist temple.
The Temple with Many Faces
After exploring Angkor Wat our day was far from over. The ancient temple is only a small part of a huge ancient city that stretched over the land and I wanted to explore more of it.
