It was built by King Suyavarman and is dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu. It contains hundreds of decorations that cover the walls and the longest bas-relief in the world. It is surrounded by a giant moat, and its five towers are part of the Cambodian flag, and from the top you can see the impressive and dense jungle. It is the most revered in the country and the most emblematic of the complex.
Before concluding our tour, we will take a private boat tour to Tonle Sap Lake and explore the local life at the Floating Village, where Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake resides.
Note: The best time to visit the floating villages is during the rainy season, especially from August to February.
