Cham Temple

Also known as Prasat O Chheu Teal Thom or Prasat O ChoTal Thom. It is a large sandstone temple located on the western side of Preah Khan (of Kampong Svay). It featured an outer laterite wall enclosing a central shrine and “library” building all most certainly never having been completed.

In late 2021, it is overgrown and the road to the site (around the southern side of the complex) is near impassable, which is all likely to improve in the drier months.

Update 12/22 – on revising the site, here are some new photos including one of the only lintel seen in situ at the site which is on the eastern side above the door to the central chamber. This time around it was possible to follow the trail from here, albeit it’s still a pretty rough farm tractor trail, around to the other sites on the western side of the main temple complex and even from PKKS through to Khvav.
