Prasat Thom
Koh Ker is a remote temple located more than 100km away from Siem Reap. It is surrounded by thick jungle and there are more than 20 monuments which we can visit. It was once the capital of the Khmer Empire and was called Lingapura. It was started by King Jayavarman IV and finished by Harshavarman II.
Prasat Thom is a unique pyramid style which looks similar to the Mayan temples located in South America.
Prasat Pram
Prasat Pram is a temple complex at Koh Ker, “Prasat” means “temple”, “Pram” means “five.” Five towers temple are erected in a compound enclosed by a laterite wall. Only three of them are Prasa, standing in a North-South row on a shared platform, Prasats are shrines for idols of deities, whereas the two towers in front of them were so-called libraries. The south-eastern and the north-western towers are completely overgrown by strangler figs.
Beng Mealea
Beng Mealea is a Hindu temple located around 65km outside of Siem Reap. It was build in the 12th century by King Suryavarman II. It’s one of the largest temples built during the Angkor period and is a great site to visit because it’s fairly quiet when compared to Angkor Wat. It was build mostly of sandstone, which historians believe was brought from the nearby quarries of Phnom Kulen. This quiet temple is away from the huge crowds of Angkor Wat and can be explored in relative peace.
