A grand, laterite bridge located on the ancient road connecting Angkor to Phimai. It’s not far from Prasat Kok Mon yet it is best accessed from a trail that comes around the bridge’s north side, which is deep, loose sand in the dry season and usually flooded in the rainy season.
Getting there: Take the dirt road from Slaeng Spean village towards and then past Prasat Kbal Bei. Once you are in proximity of the bridge, keep looking left for a clearing with a small hut in the distance, walk 250m, passing the hut to the tree line of the ancient road, follow it south for around 200m until you see a foot trail which should lead you to the bridge.
