This was the first brick Angkorian architecture to exhibit six towers. Built from brick it would have originally been covered with white stucco and incised with delicate carved images.
The rains have damaged the surfaces over the centuries, but you still get the impression of grandure and peace, because not so many come to visit this area as it is away from the main site.
The last temple I visited was Bakong. Although plain in decoration it is set in a beautiful garden with a moat.
Before heading to the airport to catch an internal flight to Phnom Penh there was time to stop off at a small local market. A feast for the eyes and nose!
