BANTEAY SAMRE TEMPLE



In Angkor area there are alot of temples, take 3-4 days to visit all of it.
also in Angkor area divide 2 ways to visit ( small tour and Grand tourLet see the map below).
this time let go to see one of them is < Banteay Samre temple>,

Banteay Samre temple locate 16 Km Northeast Siem Reap Town,
you can travel to this temple by Tuk Tuk or Car as you like took around 35 minutes to get there.
It is just off the grand tour route but not to far away.
on the way Also seeing the rural communities was nearly as interesting.
While you're there, Let spend some time in the Preah Dak village just befor you arrive the temple , in the Preah Dak village
It's a great place and one of very famous place to enjoy traditional Cambodian noodles in the morning,
shop for baskets and other handicrafts, or watch them make palm sugar.

Banteay samre temple It look similar design to Angkor wat because it was built unde
King Suryavarman II Who built angkor wat as a hindu temple in 12th century.
but Angkor wat there are 5 towers standing in the central of main temple,
Banteay samre temple you just see only one tower and smaller but
amazing sculpted and it`s very different feel than larger Angkor area.

If you Siem Reap Cambodia don`t miss it.
