Chaw Srei Vibol, Angkor

Chaw Srei Vibol (GPS: 13.41825, 104.01838), also written Chau Say Vibol, is one of the more obscure monuments of Angkor. It is located to the east of the Angkor Archaeological Park.Your journey there is mostly on country laterite lanes.

The temple complex of Chaw Srei Vibol is surrounded by a wide moat. It shares space with another Angkor monument, Kouk Temple. Both are today in a severe stage of ruin. Chaw Srei Vibol (see Google Maps Street View below) is nothing more than heaps of stones in the jungle. The temple was built in the 12th century, but is lacking the refinement of the temples in the vicinity of Angkor Thom.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
