      Style: Bakheng
      King: Yasovarman I From 889 To 910
      Location: Just after Baksei Chamkrong and right before the bridge of the Southern Door of Angkor Thom. All 3 of these monuments can be seen by walking.



      A group of three brick towers in between Baksei Chamkrong and the moat of Angkor Thom close to the Southern Entrance. The middle prasat soars ten meters. The Building wasn't completed; however, several lintel carvings endure. Prasat Bei actually means 'towers three.' The finest lighting is in the morning. This entire of 3 small brick towers doesn't skip a beauty, and the vicinity of ditch of Angkor Thom offers him a lot of freshness however the tourists in a rush won't be deferred there.




      The 3 towers are lined up on the North-South axis, confronting the East. Just the tower in the middle is complete, the two others are truncated. The representation of Indra on the three elephant heads is a remarkable point about this building. It has an Angkor Thom ring moat side, it's quiet and the ambiance is nice. It's a ruins which offers the charm of the brick design of the Khmer structures.
