Prasat Bei

Prasat Bei (Khmer: ប្រាសាទបី, “three temples”) is located by the moat on the left before entering the South Gate of Angkor Thom.

It is a temple with three brick towers in a north-south row, facing to the east, and standing on a laterite platform. The central tower contained a linga; the flanking towers reach no higher than the doorways.

Only the lintels of the central and south towers were carved, both showing Indra on the elephant Airavata. Near here you can also hire boats that navigate the moat of Angkor Thom.
