Building date: 10th century
Religion: Sivaism
Style: Bakheng
King: Yasovarman I From 889 To 910
Location: Between the south moat of Angkor Thom and Baksei Chamkrong, to the north of this last monument and 125m west of the road.
Thma Bay Kaek is a group of small ruins and facing to the moat of Angkor Thom. The stylobate portion is made of the laterite and part of the structure above the upper deck of brick remains. An excavation of the site discovered, beneath the paving of the sanctury charmber, an undamaged sacred deposit consisting of a quincunx of five gold leaves.
The bigger central leaf was etched with the outline of an image of Nandi (Shiva's bull) : the smaller a mount of Shiva. The sparse remains of a stone prasat are now worn away, leaving only a doorframe, lintels, along with a bit of the terrace. Can be combined with trip to Prasat Bei and Baksei Chamkrong.
