Svay Pream, Angkor Temple, Angkor

Svay Pream (GPS: 13.31724, 103.96278) are rather obscure ruins on the southern part of the Roluos Group. Nic Boulton, my online friend who explored it, dismissed Svay Pream as disappointing. It was nothing more than an overgrown mound surrounded by what appears to once be a moat.

The vegetation was pretty dense, and all that Nic could uncover were a couple of lintels and a few odd bricks. He remarked that the design was similar to those of Preah Ko.

How to get to Svay Pream

Start at the Kok Srok Community Learning Centre. Let's call the junction here Looking North from , you see on the left side of the road an open field for about 150m followed by a densely wooded area, which continues on North for a couple of hundred meters.Svey Pream is in this wooded area, about 200m West of the road.

Apparently there are a few narrow paths that lead to it, but Nic couldn't find anything hopeful-looking, so eventually, with the assistance of a helpful local chap he crossed through somebody's garden to reach the site.You can see in the photo below the guy's front gate. From there, head west for about 200m. You will have to traverse the single log bridge pictured.

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.
