If this was the only piece of architecture around the area it would be a 5 star attraction. But, there are so many amazing historical structures around here that overshadows this 'blink and you'll miss it' wall.

Located at the end of the terrace of the elephants these are nice carvings but you almost think it's a part of the elephant terrace. It can be hard to see but when you do find it the carvings are nice and surprisingly well preserved. I enjoyed this place although I think that the name sounded better than the attraction.

The Terrace itself is a fairly simple walkway through Ankgor Thom and connects to The terrace of the Elephant king and the amazing Baphoun, On the sides on the terrace however are literally thousands of carvings depicting the king, dancers, Naga's, Battles and more!

Just right next to The Elephant Terrace, this place offers amazing bas reliefs on the walls. There is a hidden maze-like trek that has interesting 3D-like reliefs along the walls. Make sure you do not miss this maze.The walls are full of figures; making this a great photo op.

This is right next to the Terrace of the Elephants, it's a long wall connected together. There is no real need to go up on top of it unless you really want to, to us we felt it would have been a waste of time, however, you are up off the ground about 4-8 meters so you may be able... More

The sculptures on the terrace are fine but you can only see them once you proceed into the inner wall, hidden by the outer wall. I nearly missed the best part of it due to the exhaustion. So, please keep in mind that the best of the terrace is hidden inside and cannot be seen outside (not like Terrace of... More

The Leper King Terrace is located in the NW corner of Angkor Thom and holds a treasure trove of amazingly well preserved bas reliefs which just have to be seen to be believed. The inner walls with the hidden reliefs are accessed by steps leading down into the corridors which are lined with nagas and dieties of the underworld. At... More

I could see how one could miss the awesome inner bas reliefs of the terrace of the leper king beings that there's so many awesome stuff around causing distractions. Make sure you go explore the corridor just behind the main wall!
