via Phnom Penh Post, 26 November 2021: The Bayon has been undergoing extensive works over the course of the year.
Visitors to Siem Reap province’s Angkor Archaeological Park can now enter most areas of the Angkor Thom complex’s central Bayon temple, save notably for the highest level – the central tower and sanctuary – which will be under maintenance from December 1 until further notice.
This is according to a statement issued on November 25 by the Apsara National Authority (ANA) addressed to relevant state and private institutions, local authorities, tourism-related actors, potential visitors and the general public.
The ANA said it has drawn up three main new routes for tourists to follow during the period that “still capture the grandeur of the temple, reduce overcrowding, provide safety for visitors, and enhance the overall quality of the experience”.
