Kong Bong Temple

Prasat Kong Bong is recorded as originally being a group of two brick temples, opening to the east, with moat and basin in the east. Only a base structure of the north tower remains visible but it is particularly special if that is in fact the original final coating still seen on the remaining molded brickwork. The southern tower is partially standing albeit heavily damaged and perhaps only held together by the roots of the tree that likely destroyed it.

On the eastern side of the site, there is a small neak ta shelter housing remains of the decorative door columns and other remnants.
