Preah Khan
Preah Khan was built 12th century for King Jayavarman VII and is located Northeast of Angkor Thom.
 |
| The entrance of Buphuon was under restoration |
 |
| How sad! Look at the numerous tree growing among the ruins. Large part of the Angkor were damaged due to this. |
 |
| Heading off to our hotel to have lunch |
The weather was blatantly hot that we decided to went back to our hotel for lunch, took a quick shower before we continue to explore Angkor later in the afternoon.
