This is a maze of a temple with four main entrances/exits each facing north, east, south, west respectively. I immensely enjoyed wandering through its small and large hallways and "discovering" new courtyards and rooms. This temple is particularly known for its infinity door pictures, so that when you stand on one end and take a picture, you can see several... More

One of the smaller temples that we visited while in Siem Reap. It has been beautifully wall carvings and worth a visit.

This is the type of temple I envisioned when I would dream of the temples in Siem Reap. It was beautiful, large, lots of intricate carvings and not very crowded! The trees growing throughout were amazing to see. I highly recommend visiting this temple!

Among the least Angkor tourists, is a rare quiet place. Although you can see from the outside is not flashy, dense corridor and mystical relief was very attractive and get inside. Ceiling also collapsed, buildings that are likely to be erosion in the trees, stands sedately still feel when far beyond the will. I thought of sitting on the rock... More

I personally loved this temple but may not be everyone's cup of tea. It is in a state of disrepair, with many of the corridors filled with fallen blocks. It has a real feel of something out of Indiana Jones and was fun to explore the corridors and wasn't at all crowded, so it did feel like we had the... More
