Prasat Prei Temple, Angkor

Prasat Prei (26 February, 2006)


Prasat Prei (GPS: 13.46771, 103.87714) is a small, insignificant Angkor temple located on the opposite side of the road from Neak Pean. It was built in the late 12th and early 13th century during the reign of King Jayavarman VII. Prasat Prei consists of a pair of laterite towers, or prasats. Prasat Prei is adorned with carvings of apsaras as well as other carvings.

I was the only visitor to Prasat Prei when I visited. It was so off the beaten path that nobody checked my Angkor pass. However, I saw that even here, the grass was neatly cut and the ruins well maintained. After visiting Prasat Prei, I continued down the same path to visit another related ruins, Banteay Prei.

How to reach Prasat Prei

Prasat Prei is a minor temple that will only be of interest to those with time and specific interest in studying Angkor indepth. It is located on the left (north) side of the road that runs between Preah Khan and Neak Pean. Be on the look out for a left-turn with a signboard saying Prasat Prei and/or Banteay Prei. If you need transport, I can recommend the tuk tuk driver who drove me there. His name is Mr Han (see contact below), and you can call to see if he is available to take you.

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.
