Vat Preah Ngok

Vat Preah Ngok (27 February 2006)


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.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
