Prasat Chrung (SE)

One of the four prasats that sit at each corner of Angkor Thom’s outer wall. This one is located on the southeast corner. You can reach the site by a 20 min walk along the top of the wall from the south gate of Angkor Thom. It is also a place where you can watch the morning sunrise.

It features the remnants of an outer enclosure, entry gopura, stele shelter, and sanctuary. The stele that was located in the shelter has an inscription on each of its sides but is in poor condition and registered under K. 597. See the other Prasat Chrungs, listed further below, for more on the steles.
