Building date: Late 12th century
Religion: Mahayana Buddhism
Style: Bayon
King: Jayavarman VII From 1181 To 1218
Location: Small Circuit. North of Ta Keo.
Ta Nei is a Buddhist temple of the Bayon style that was created by Jayavarman VII in the 12th century. The corridor was initially built east - west 35 metres and north - south 26 metres. However, it was extended subsequently by King Rajendravarman II to dimensions of east - west 55 metres and north - south 47 metres. A few of the apsaras and lintel carvings are in very good condition.
The temple is in much rougher condition than many of the temples on the major tour circuit. Take the main road to Ta Nei from where it meets the Grand Circuit road close to the southeast part of Ta Keo. To go to Ta Nei, park on the end of the road close to Ta Keo and walk the dirt road approximately 1km to Ta Nei, or by motorbike, follow the unmarked dirt road from just outside of the Victory Entrance of Angkor Thom towards the 'French Dam'. Cross the dam and proceed 200m up a small path.
The corridor was encircled by a moat, with the walls made from the laterite. But this moat has virtually disappeared. The moat runs septentrional and southern side of the wall it may identify the track of the moat. The ruins by itself being small-scale, the section that falls it is many. The stones are laid spread around, and the ambiance gets rough. The scripture home is only one inside the corridor.
