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.
