Srah Srang, or "Royal Bath", is a stunning royal reservoir measuring 700 by 350 meters. Originally created in the 10th century under King Rajendravarman II, it was redesigned in the 12th century by King Jayavarman VII. The western sandstone terrace is adorned with lions, nagas, and a garuda riding a three-headed serpent. Famous for its spectacular sunrise as a peaceful alternative to Angkor Wat, with far fewer crowds
Included in Angkor Pass. Best sunrise alternative to Angkor Wat with fewer crowds
Arrive around 5:30 AM for spectacular sunrise - the sun rises directly over the water creating stunning reflections. Also beautiful at sunset from the eastern shore. Much more peaceful than Angkor Wat sunrise
