Overview
Koh Ker is unique for its pyramid-style main temple, Prasat Thom, its history as a short-lived capital of the Khmer Empire, and its remote, jungle-clad setting that provides a serene and off-the-beaten-path experience. Unlike the crowded Angkor temples, Koh Ker offers a more secluded atmosphere with a distinctive architectural style, a monumental seven-tiered pyramid, and numerous surrounding ruins hidden in the forest.
Beng Mealea is its status as an "Indiana Jones" style "lost temple," with a large portion of the structure partially collapsed and intertwined with the jungle. Unlike many other Angkorian temples, it has remained unrestored, creating a sense of adventure and mystery, and its architecture, though not mentioned in inscriptions, is complex and comparable to Angkor Wat.

Koh Ker TemplePRASAT KOH KER (Group of temples) is in Preah Vihear province as well. This temple is like a Pyramid with seven levels up to the sky. Don’t miss the panoramic view from the top, wonderful for photos. We’ll also see smaller temples in the group – Prasat Krachap, Prasat Neang Kmao, Prasat Ling, Moat, and Prasat Bram, Prasat Chen. Most of these temples are cover by jungle as this area was abandoned and only recently discovered.
-
Prasat Pram, also known as Pram Temple, is an ancient temple complex belonging to the Khmer Empire, constructed in the 10th century under the reign of King Jayavarman IV. Prasat Pram showcases the pride and power of the Khmer Empire during its peak. What sets Prasat Pram apart is its unique architecture, featuring sandstone towers arranged in a layout unlike other temples in the region.
-
Koh Ker TemplePrasat Kra Chap is a compact temple comprising two rather well preserved gopuras and the ruins of five towers arranged in a quincun. Thanks to the surviving inscriptions on the doorframes, we know that in 928 was dedicated the Tribhuvanadeva, a linga representation of Shiva. The pediments in the two gopuras are of a style similar to that of Banteay Srei, near Angkor, built 40 years later.
-
Prasat Chen, or Chen Temple of Koh Ker is a group of three laterite temples on a common terrace that was fronted and flanked by two brick “library” buildings, an enclosure wall of laterite with brick entrance gopura to the east and west followed by another laterite enclosure wall that featured a long laterite terrace. The site is quite ruinous but especially interesting when taking into account the discovery of the statuary that originally resided at the site, more on that further below. Of the three grand laterite towers, the southernmost retains a beautiful lintel with a Garuda separating two entwined naga serpents.
-
Prasat Neang Khmao, it is a large square temple constructed of laterite atop a sandstone base that is surrounded by a laterite wall. It features several false levels reducing in size to the top that have accent pieces and at each corner a “mini prasat” decorative piece. The sandstone basement still preserves traces of beautiful decorative carvings. It is one of the best-preserved temples to be found.
-
Koh Ker TemplePrasat Linga is a temple housing a massive linga, a symbolic pillar representing the Hindu god Shiva. These temples, often found at sites like Koh Ker, feature a large, monolithic stone linga (often 2 meters high) on a yoni pedestal (the female symbol). Many of these temples, likely unfinished or missing perishable roofs, were designed so that rainwater could flow over the linga, pooling in a ceremonial tank below.
-
Koh Ker TemplePrasat Banteay Pichean is a rarely visited ancient temple located within the Koh Ker temple complex in the Preah Vihear Province of Cambodia. It dates to the 10th century, during the reign of King Jayavarman IV.
