Cambodia — Day 3: Preah Khan (ប្រាសាទព្រះខ័ន), Angkor Archaeological Park, Angkor, Cambodia — part 1 of 2

Back on the road

September 2015

Back on the road visiting temples.

It was another rainy day, and the first temple was Preah Khan (ប្រាសាទព្រះខ័ន).

I arrived at the temple around 9 am and left about 80 minutes later.

I liked Preah Khan (ប្រាសាទព្រះខ័ន) as I had arrived before most of the tourists (it started getting busy just after 10 am), and it felt like I had the place to myself for a time. The temple reminded me of Ta Prohm (ប្រាសាទតាព្រហ្ម) in that the temple was being sympathetically maintained.

At Preah Khan (ប្រាសាទព្រះខ័ន), I found an interesting plaque that described ongoing work on the site. The plaque said the work at the site was a cooperative project between the National APSARA Authority and the World Monuments Fund (USA) for the Royal Kingdom of Cambodia.
