Trapeang Don Meas

Located west of the Royal Palace inside Angkor Thom, Trâpeang Don Meas is a 450 m long basin in a cruciform shape. While there is not much to look at, bar a curious piece of sandstone and it being a nice natural spot, you can reach here by following a trail heading eastward off the northeast corner of the outer palace wall.
