Vat Preah Ngok (GPS: 13.44259, 103.85841) is a Buddhist chapel to the northwest of Bayon. There is a likelihood that you don't even notice it unless you explore the grounds around Bayon closely.

Vat Preah Ngok has a seated Buddha image, about 5 meters tall, sheltered by a pavilion with a pointed roof. The pavilion appears of modern Khmer design though the Buddha is said to date from Angkorian time. It sits on a sandstone platform with short flights of steps leading to it.
