Krol Romeas (GPS: 13.45857, 103.86342) is a small, obscure Angkor monument. It is located on the eastern edge of the East Baray. It is not sure whether Krol Romeas was built to be a temple, or for other functions.

The water management of East Baray resulted in the change in the function of Krol Romeas, and scientists from the Greater Angkor Project (a collaboration of the APSARA Authority, the University of Sydney, and the École Française d'Extrême-Orient ) are still studying it. I am also trying to piece together information surrounding this ruin. According to some documents, Krol Romeas was built as a water outlet for the baray. Perhaps it is a gate that controls the amount of water being let out (or in) between the baray and the channels / drains.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
