Wat Prasat (Prasat Pagoda) – Kampong Thom

Built-in the 8th century (706 AD) in the Kampong Preah style, Wat Prasat is constructed from brick, masonry, and sandstone, dedicated to Shiva. The sanctuary, facing east, was designed without false doors and originally featured wooden doors adorned with male and female divine sculptures.

The southern door bears five lines of inscriptions, while the lintels showcase intricate garland designs. Notably, the temple includes segments of Linga and Yoni in its upper corners. Nearby, two smaller temple remains exist, now resembling small hills, and Toul Samrong Hill lies to the south, historically recognized as the site of a former royal palace where treasures were kept.
