Banteay Kdei

Reviewed By LuizDutraNeto - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

After visiting "Prasat Kravan", your next stop could probably be the neighboring "Banteay Kdei" - a Buddhist temple and monastery built, between the 12th and the 13th centuries, by the legendary Khmer King Jayavarman VII. It follows the characteristics of the "Angkor Wat" and "Bayon" architectural styles and is also known as the moated "Citadel of Monks' Cells", or as the "Citadel of Chambers". "Banteay Kdei" was built of soft sandstone and, due to sandstone's fragility, many of its galleries and structures collapsed down. As "Banteay Kdei" has never been restored, it allows visitors to really experience how it probably looked originally. "Banteay Kdei" is definitely a "jungle-temple" and will certainly pretty much remind you of nearby "Ta Prohm", one of the most iconic temples in the Angkor complex. Just opposite "Banteay Kdei", stands the large pool and terrace of "Srah Srang", the ancient "Royal Baths" of the Khmer Empire. Visit them all - "Prasat Kravan", "Banteay Kdei", "Srah Srang" and "Ta Prohm" - and remember, you are experiencing one of the most important archaeological complexes in the whole World. Absolutely unmissable! Enjoy

Banteay Samre

Reviewed By abw0 - Los Angeles, United States

This temple is rather out of the way, so it doesn't get the huge crowds that others get. It's a very nice temple in really very good shape--in the end, I think it must be my favorite of all of them. It's not hard to reach and can easily be included on a trip up to Banteay Serei and/or Kbal Spean. The entrance fee is, of course, included in the normal Angkor Archeological Park ticket.

The temple can be seen on the left side when entering Angkor Thom at the southern gate. The main sandstone lintel is decorated with a fine carving of Indra standing on his three headed elephant Airavata.

Chau Say Tevoda

Reviewed By LuizDutraNeto - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Another Hindu temple dedicated to Lords Vishnu and Shiva! Built in between the 11th and 12th centuries by King Suryavarman II, "Chau Say Tevoda" is a small temple and stands among the best examples of the classic "Angkor Wat" architectural style. Images of Shiva, Parvati, Apsaras, bulls and monkeys are depicted in outstanding bas-reliefs. Buddhism, years later, was introduced by King Dharanindravarman and "Chau Say Tevoda" displays carvings of both Hindu and Buddhist religions. "Chau Say Tevoda" is just opposite to his twin temple of "Thommanon" and near "Angkor Thom's Gate of Victory". Take your time and visit both twin temples, although "Chau Say Tevoda" is in a much worst condition if compared to "Thommanon". Enjoy!
