Tep Pranam

This is a long walkway with a Buddha figure at the far end. Tep Pranam was originally a Buddhist shrine built in the 9^th century under the rule of Yasovarman 1, the King that moved the capital to Angkor. It was expanded over the years with 12^th century balustrades, 13^th century lions and significant post-Angkorian modifications and additions. The Buddha statue at the western end is made from reused material. It is unclear how long that particular Buddha has been there.

Spean Thmo

This literally translates to ‘Stone Bridge’ with trees on the temples. It lies just beside the Siem Reap river.

Chapel of the Hospital

This is a hospital built by Jayavaraman 7. Some carvings are still visible. This is a quiet meditative spot, easily accessible but rarely visited by tourists.

Chau Say Tevoda

This is a small temple with similar design and floor plan to that of Thommanon. This temple is in poor condition, however, it is a good place to get a glimpse at the restoration process and appreciate the sheer scale of restoring these temples.
