Photo: Srah Srang (the Royal Bath)
One of the more
interesting place to visit, Srah Srang, a baray
(reservoir) was built
by King Jayavarman VII in the late 12th century
and it is specially dedicated to Buddhism.
Located at the southern part of East Baray, the
west end of the baray which is opposite the
entrance to Banteay Kdei, is the perfect place
to savor the magnificent sunrise view and has
since become a popular tourist attraction in
Angkor. It is a
huge pond and interesting statues of lions and
serpents can be seen here and it is a good place
to take some photographs. It is also called the
royal bath because it is here where the kings
take their baths in ancient times and the view
here is excellent.
