This large temple is located on the 'big circuit' outside the inner cities. It was built in the late 12th century by Jayavarman VII. It is not only a temple but funtioned as a monastery and Buddhist teaching centre. It is a wonderful place to explore with surprises around many corners that make you feel like an explorer finding an... More

We visited this temple around 10.30am and noticed that there wasn't a crowd, hence we got to explore the temple at our own pace and serenely. I guess Preah Khan is not a top crowd favourite. The temple has elements of Ta Phrom, Bayon and I particularly liked their archways. Recommended :)

This temple is much quieter than the other big temples as most of the big tour groups don't come here,like Ta prohm it has lots of trees growing through the ruins and lots of areas that have collapsed.the two story library is a unique feature of this temple.I found this temple so peaceful and calming I could sit there quiet...

Preah Khan temple is one of top 3 favourites of the 7 temples we had time to experience with 3 young children. My wife stopped shortly after entry to sit and draw with the kids while I explored the amazing temple complex without wonderful guide Mr Hang Borey. Well worth a visit

There are lots of trees grown around the buildings and unlike the other one which is similar (ta prohm I believe) this one has not got... More

Historical temples full of stories. Get a good guide and you will have a lot of fun time exploring the building.

An old Buddhist temple situated in a walled enclosure, which was once a busy city and surrounded by a moat. Perhaps it was just the compact design or the amazing carvings and statues that are everywhere. The massive structure, the terraces and the remaining galleries give such a regal appearance, the whole complex still seems alive. You enter the complex... More

Really nice spot. Also has some of the jungle trees strangling the temple but wihtout the hoards of tourists trying to get the Lara Croft type photos. Slowly being rebuilt a lot of rubble but a really nice temple to see all the same

This is a must-see temple - ideally earlier in the morning before the heat and the crowds (although the light in the afternoons is great for photos also). Ask your tuk-tuk driver to pick you up on the other side so you can walk all the way through (it's a long walk). The temple has a very special feel to... More
