Preah Khan Temple is one of the largest temple complexes in the Angkor area, built by King Jayavarman VII in the 12th century to honor his father, hence also known as the "Father Temple". The temple is grand in scale and once served as an important Buddhist learning center. Preah Khan is renowned for its unique two-story structure and exquisite stone carvings, featuring numerous long corridors and courtyards. Similar to Ta Prohm, it has been invaded by tropical vegetation, with tree roots intertwining with ancient architecture to create a unique landscape. At the center of the temple stands a distinctive two-story circular building, a rare Greek-style structure in Angkor architecture.

Très beau temple/parc en plein milieu de la ville. Nous avions du mal à le trouver car maps envoyait vers une mauvaise localisation. Les locaux nous ont avertis et indiqués la bonne direction.\nVous payerez 1$ symbolique l'entrée pour des touristes. Nous recommandons fortement ce lieu :)

A visit to Cambodia has to include thus amazing site - absolutely stunning, and my second visit. Some 19/20 years on there is little change - other than the amount of tourists !! Seeing the sunrise behind the temple is superb, but arriving at any time is just as good. Allow at least a couple of hours to walk round, climb the steps to look across the temple, meet local people etc there's toilets on site, local stalls, food etc. There are numerous other temples well worth visiting around here. Beautiful, peaceful surroundings with an amazing history.

The price is $1 for foreigners. The place is pleasant to walk around, you can get to the temple at the top. Many sculptures to admire! Can be done in less than 1 hour.
