Trâpeang Totoeng Thngai Temple

Often touted as a mysterious site, it certainly lives up to the hype. Totung Thngai Temple (ប្រាសាទ​ទទឹងថ្ងៃ) as it is also known,  is located east of Siem Reap, and south of Bakong Temple.

What remains at the mysteriously ruinous site are several sandstone doorway frames of what was a group of eight temples, an annex building, with a surrounding wall and moat.

It is quite curious to see so many of the sandstone doorframes still standing while all else lay in rubble. From a quick look it can be perplexing to work out the layout of the site. Looking at ground level there are remains of the base platform which supported three towers, followed by a group of five towers, with outer entrance gopura doorframes adding to the collection of Stonehenge like plinths.

It was believed to be built in the tenth century.

Not too far away is the Trapeang Phong site.
