This temple is not as crowded as the others, and really gives you and idea of what it was like in the 1860's when these temples were first rediscovered.

Simple Discoveries

Be sure to explore all of the passageways. BEWARE of the off-duty police ! They act as unsolicited tour guides & then ask for a donation in return knowing you'll be intimidated. Just leave them behind.

I think my favourite temple , really quiet and peaceful . Not as restored as other temples so feels spooky and more authentic in the forest . It’s huge and many areas you are alone

Flee Bird

The best temple to visit. On the East entrance is the picturesque Preah Khan lake (not shown on google map). A beautiful canal surrounds the temple .

Irina

Keep your location in mind. The temple has a "+" layout, so it's easy to get a bit lost. East Gate is much less crowded , so is better for exploratory wandering.

Built by ancient Khmer king for his father . Highly recommended to visit

Lots of corridors but Ta Prohm has a similar vibe with more atmosphere. However there are fewer crowds and tour groups here.

Much more interesting, less crowded , more impressive version of Ta Prohm

More authentic than Ta Prom, but still with these impressive trees

Fa parte del grande circuito,lontano rispetto agli altri tempi quindi è consigliabile usare un tuk tuk o un tour operator per raggiungerlo

Nam Nắn Nót

Xây cho vua Jayavarman VI năm 1191 .tiếng Campuchia là "gươm thiêng",Cũng như Bayon, đ là đền Phật giáo nhưng khi vua Jayavarman VII mất, các vị vua sau lên ngôi đã biến nó thành ngôi đền Ấn Độ giáo.

Nam Nắn Nót

2 bên là hàng dài các tượng đá,qua1 cầu với hai bên là các thần và quỷ ôm con rắn chín đầu. Có thể trước đây là chỗ ở của hoàng gia, Jayavarman VII làm cung điện trong khi Angkor Thom đang được xây

Duang Posathorn

ด้านในมีเทวรูปเล็กๆซ่อนอยู่ แนะนำให้ถามไกด์ให้พาไปชมครับ เดินเองหลงแหงๆ
