He always made sure we were comfortable and hydrated, giving us ice cold water on our return from each temple and driving with care and safety. His knowledge and expertise are amazing and made our 3 day tour of the temples a highlight of our south east Asia trip, providing us with insight into each temple, Cambodian culture & history, and always with a huge smile! If you want to truely enjoy Siem Reap and all its beauty, you need to book Chan!

Def recommend and may ask him againVerifiedTim M2024-06-24Highly recommended! We spent an amazing 2 days with Kosal. He gave us the history of each temple we visited as well as plenty more information about Cambodia, past and present. He made a few stops along the way and told us about farming practices and traditional building methods. It was a very interesting and informative experience. Kosal is a great guy, he speaks good English and is a very safe driver too!VerifiedJana-Alin B2024-06-11Best Tuk Tuk driver Kosal drove us to our hotel when we arrived in Siem Reap and told us a lot about the city during the short drive, including a short language course. We liked him so much that we booked our two Angkor tours with him. Unfortunately, he didn't have time for our first tour (sunset), but he organized a tour with his brother, which was also great. On the second day, we did the sunrise tour with him and it was amazing. We were always provided with water and were able to leave our backpack in the tuk tuk. Kosal knows so much about the temples and Cambodia's history that he is both a tuk tuk driver and a tour guide. You can have a great conversation with him, also about every day stuff and he speaks very good English. And he is so nice and friendly. We can absolutely recommend Kosal and would book a tour with him again at any time.

The Bayon is a well-known and richly decorated Khmer temple at Angkor in Cambodia. Built in the late 12th century or early 13th century as the official state temple of the Mahayana Buddhist King Jayavarman VII, the Bayon stands at the centre of Jayavarman’s capital, Angkor Thom. Following Jayavarman’s death, it was modified and augmented by later Hindu and Theravada Buddhist kings in accordance with their own religious preferences.
The Bayon’s most distinctive feature is the multitude of serene and massive stone faces on the many towers which jut out from the upper terrace and cluster around its central peak. The temple is known also for two impressive sets of bas-reliefs, which present an unusual combination of mythological, historical, and mundane scenes. The current main conservatory body, the Japanese Government team for the Safeguarding of Angkor (the JSA) has described the temple as “the most striking expression of the baroque style” of Khmer architecture, as contrasted with the classical style of Angkor Wat.
The site
The temple is orientated towards the east, and so its buildings are set back to the west inside enclosures elongated along the east-west axis. Because the temple sits at the exact centre of Angkor Thom, roads lead to it directly from the gates at each of the city’s cardinal points. The temple itself has no wall or moats, these being replaced by those of the city itself: the city-temple arrangement, with an area of 9 square kilometres, is much larger than that of Angkor Wat to the south (2 km²). Within the temple itself, there are two galleried enclosures (the third and second enclosures) and an upper terrace (the first enclosure). All of these elements are crowded against each other with little space between. Unlike Angkor Wat, which impresses with the grand scale of its architecture and open spaces, the Bayon “gives the impression of being compressed within a frame which is too tight for it.”
