Khmer Temples

Many of the temples from the Angkorian Era feature scenes from the Ramayana

Preah Vihar

Situated on a cliff astride the border between Cambodia and Thailand, Preah Vihar is a remote temple with great views of the surrounding countryside and an aesthetic that makes the mind wonder at the intentions of the builders. Time has taken its toll on the structure of the temple but it remains majestic and awe inspiring.

Bantey Srei

Bantey Srei is considered the “jewel of Khmer art” [Glaize, The Monuments of the Angkor Group, p. 187, via Wikipedia]
