Angkor Thom

Angkor Thom translates as Great City but, as with Angkor Wat, none of the city remains except the stone Bayon temple in the middle. The bridge over the moat to each of the four gates is lined with statues. The moat and walls stretch for 6km each side of the gates and the moat is 45ft deep!
