    Ta prohm Tonlebati

    Building date: Late 12th / early 13th century A.D.
    Religion: Buddhist
    Style: N/A
    King: Jayavarman VII
    Location: Takeo Province, at Tonle Bati resort area



    Taprohm Tonlebati (Lake Bati) is really a tiny lake and well-known picnic location for the local people with bamboo picnic stands and mats by the water. On the path to Tonle Bati there are two Angkorian era temples, Ta Prohm and Yeay Peau. Both temples were constructed under King Jayavarman VII during the late 12th century in the identical period that Bayon and Angkor Thom in Siem Reap were built.




    Ta Prohm is the more considerable and amazing of these two temples, presenting many really well-preserved carvings. Yeay Peau is a single sandstone tower located close to an active pagoda that exhibits some carvings. The location is occupied and the temples being present since the pre-Angkorian Funan era. Ta Prohm was modernized and expanded as late as the 16th century.
