The Complex comprises numerous monuments in Khmer architecture which is naturalistic, complicated and full of symbols.
We continue heading to the former capital Angkor Thom (Bayon, Terrace of the Elephants) - the longest and the last capital of the Khmer Empire. Lying beside Tonle Sap Lake, it was constructed by the king Khmer Jayavarman VII in late 12th century in Bayon architecture and Ta Prohm which is nearly disappeared in jungle and seems to be abandoned with many ruins and surrounded tropical forests. It was a monastery and a Mahayanist Buddhism School, constructed by the king Khmer Jayavarman VII in late 12th century and early 13th century in Bayon architecture style.

We saddle up and ride south to Pailin. The road in sections is in good condition and the scenery is the most impressive as we head towards Thailand. The road undulates as we get closer to Pailin but there is nothing to stop along the way. We will cross streams and bridges and really get a feeling of riding into uncharted territory.
