Prasat Bei – Trio of one out of four

Prasat Bei – ប្រាសាទបី – means three temples. On top of a small laterite platform of 10 x 24 meter there are these three towers, where the central one is fairly complete and in order. This temple tower rises 10 meter high.

The two flanking temple towers are not in that good condition, and the north one closest to the city moat around Angkor Thom was probably never properly finished. There are still some lintels with carvings left to see.

This is the largest in a quartet of temple sites on the west side of the Southern gate to Angkor Thom. Just to the east and west of this temple is the rather rudimentary remains of Sâk Krâop Temple I and II. Closer to the main road into Angkor Thom is Prasat Bay Kaek East – ប្រាសាទថ្មបាយក្អែក.

Among the earliest Angkor Thom temples
The temple was built for the Hindu god Shiva during the reign of Yasovarman I early in the 900s. This great King was the god king who moved the Khmer capital from Hariharalaya to Yaśodharapura, the area where we today find most of the most famous constructions and temples of Angkor Empire. The first central location of the new capital was built on the nearby Phnom Bakheng.

This temple is 1,5 kilometre north of Angkor Wat. It is worth visiting to get an idea of the design of the first Angkor imperial capital and its temples.

Cada año, tras finalizar la temporada de lluvias, se reconstruye el puente de bambú para personas y vehículos que cruza el Mekong a su paso por Camboya. Recorre 1 km desde Wat Dei Doh, en la ciudad de Kampong Cham, a la costa noroccidental de la isla de Koh Pen, donde se bifurca. Más al sur, se terminó de construir un puente convencional, como muy tarde, en el 2017.📷James Antrobus #ingenieria #engineering #camboya #cambodia
En otras imágenes parece que se cruza el río entero, pero se pasa únicamente a una isla en el río.
