It is a highly recommended site to visit, for several reasons, including being one of the most ornate of all the temples while also retaining a lot of amazing detail, plus it has great visitor amenities, and there are many attractions along the way, including the nearby Kbal Spean. The highlights here are the impressive pediments and ornate decoration of the inner Prasat and libraries. A big tip here is to take your time, stop, and admire the beauty that lies in the detail of the spectacular reliefs, and it’s everywhere.
The site is well developed featuring a large shaded parking area, toilets, a cafe, stalls for souvenirs, coffee, snacks etc. Expect to pay between $5-7 for a meal. There is also a lake upon which you can take boat rides plus the site also features an informative Interpretation Center featuring large posters highlighting the restoration works along with art styles, architecture, history, and more, it’s highly recommended to go here first.
The site is open from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm and is included in the Angkor Pass. You can spend one hour here or a little more if you take the boat ride and explore some of the short trails.
