Preah Theat Toch Temple (Banteay Prei Nokor)

Within the walls of Banteay Prei Nokor, 250 m to the southeast of Preah Theat Thom, are the partially standing remains of what was originally a group of three brick temples that opened to the north. Only one brick tower remains and is believed to date to the time of King Bhavavarman I in the 7th Century. It was restored and reinforced in recent times.

The site also carried an inscription that was registered under K. 97 that included 3 lines in Sanskrit on the lintel, 30 lines in Sanskrit on the east doorframe, and 22 lines in Khmer on the west doorframe.

Reaching the site is easy, from within the monastery grounds of Prei Angkor Knoung Sdech Kan (Banteay Prei Nokor) near the reclining Buddha, there is a 200 m or so foot trail heading southeast past a rubber plantation.
