Prasat Kok Pongro (Khmer: ប្រាសាទគោកពង្), or Kouk Pongro, is located north of Angkor Thom in Siem Reap.
It is a small site with three prasats, two mostly fallen and one completely. It is a brick temple with stone doorways and some stone stairs that can still be seen.
The site is reached only by a dirt trail through farmland that leads off the northwest corner of the Korean Ring Road. The site is surrounded by trees and not distinguishable from the outside, and you’ll also likely need to forge through a little shrub to get into the site.
Two beautiful lintels were found at this site (and placed in a museum, but at the time of writing I am unsure where), one with the depiction of the Churning of the Sea of Milk (755 EFEO 11204), another featuring Indra atop of Kala (755 EFEO 11202 a), and there was also an inscription on the doorway (given the reference K. 781).
