Angkor Wat is not the only temple to visit. There is a larger temple complex called Angkor Thom (The Large City) which has many 'smaller' temples. The most famous is the Bayon and some of the others are: the Elephant Terrace, Preah Palilay, and the Terrace of the Leper King. Angkor Thom has 5 elaborate entrance gates (gopuras) and on each side, there are 54 demon statues (on the left) and 54 god statues (on the right). Go to the Southern Gate as this gate with its 4 faces has been fully restored.
