Chan Ta Uon Temple (Khmer: ប្រាសាទចាន់តាអួន), or Prasat Prei, is located about 800 meters northwest of the walls of Angkor Thom, located in Nokor Krao village, Kork Chak commune, Siem Reap.
It is one of 102 ‘hospitals’ built during the reign of Jayavarman VII in the late 12th century. The temple was built in the Bayon style, dedicated to Mahayana Buddhism.
The site is interesting and one of the more pretty, albeit ruinous, smaller remote sites.
Around the site is a 3/4 moat with a pond in the northeast corner, then a laterite wall with a large galleried gopura (gate) on the northern entrance, there is also a smaller entrance at the western end. Inside the wall, which has mostly collapsed, are the remnants of a library in the southeast corner and the tall main sanctuary at the center of the site.
You can reach the site via a dirt trail that connects to the Korean Ring Road, follow that for 600m and you’ll see a trail leading to the right (a car or tuk-tuk are ok up until this point), take that by foot, moto or bike, for about 200m straight to the site.
It is in the ticketed area (requiring an Angkor Pass).
