The temple of Bapoun is an example of the pyramid type of Cambodian temple. It is situated immediately south of the palace in Angkor Thom. ‘It bears considerable resemblance to the temple of Bayon, but the height of its second and third platform is much greater. Moreover, the Brahmā masks were not carved on the twenty-eight towers of Bapoun, nor are the walls of the corridor enriched with the bas-relief sculpture of Bayon and Angkor Vāt.
