Trapeang Kaek Temple, Angkor

Trapeang Kaek (GPS: 13.336262, 103.956481) is an Angkor temple located to the west of Roluos Group. My friend Nic Boulton came across it beside the road side. For a number of years, we were not able to identify it, as his attempts to ask the locals yielded a name that sounded like "Kirchamoor". Nevertheless, with improvement in geolocation, I was finally able to identify the ruins as Trapeang Kaek.

Trapaeng Keak is a lone prasat located on the north side of the road, about one kilometer to the west of Bakong. The name trapaeng, I learn, means pond or small lake, though Trapaeng Kaek is not a lake but a prasat, or temple tower. Unfortunately I do not know much about Trapaeng Kaek, other than its name as appearing on Google Maps. I do not know how old it is or who built it.

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.
