Banteay Chhmar (Khmer: បន្ទាយឆ្មារ) was one of the largest temple-city complexes built by the kings of Angkor.
160 km north-west of Siem Reap, Banteay Chhmar is well worth a day-trip if you have the time.
Although much of the complex is in a poor state of repair, Banteay Chhmar has some wonderful bas-reliefs to rival those of the Bayon Temple. It also has a few remaining face-towers, and some beautiful pediments in the Hall of the Kinnaris.

No noise. No clutter. Just quiet inspiration, delivered gently.
