Prasat Bei Temple, Angkor

Prasat Bei (26 February, 2006)


Prasat Bei (GPS: 13.42585, 103.85616), which means "three towers" is a small Angkor ruin, similar to Prasat Kravan, but has only three towers. It was built in the 10th Century by King Yasovarman I who reigned from AD 889 to circa AD 915. Inside the middle prasat is a linga. The two side towers are severely ruined, and reaches only to the doorway of the central tower. In fact the northern tower (the one on the right) was never completed. They stand on a laterite podium which is 24 meter long by 9.6 meter wide.

I explored Prasat Bei after visiting Baksei Chamkrong. We are just outside the causeway that leads to the South Gopura of Angkor Thom.

How to reach Prasat Bei

Prasat Bei is located between Baksei Chamkrong and the moat of Angkor Thom, about 300m west of the road that leads to the south gopura of Angkor Thom, and 175m from Thma Bay Kaek. Just before the causeway with the rows of gods and demons, turn left on the side path, passing the heaps of stone which is Thma Bay Kaek, and you will arrive at Prasat Bei in a short while.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
