Banteay Prei Nokor, Kampong Cham Province, Cambodia, Asia

---

The ancient temple complex of Banteay Prei Nokor is to the northwest of Kompong Cham, Cambodia. The complex is especially known by the temple of Wat Nokor in Khum of Kompong Siem, 1200 meters from the town of Kompong Cham. The local people sometimes call it 'Wat Angkor' though a sign at the entrance now officially designates the name of the temple as Wat Nokor Bachey. The monument was built out of sandstone and laterite, and dates from the last years of the reign of Jayavarman VII. It is composed of a central tower surrounded by four laterite wall enclosures. The central tower of the temple of Vat Nokor is decorated with motifs characteristic of Bayon with Buddhist scenes on the pediments. (source: Wikipedia)
