Bat Chum

Bat Chum is a Buddhist temple located within the Angkor archaeological park in Cambodia. Built in the mid-10th century by a minister of King Rajendravarman, the site consists of stone structures that reflect the religious architecture of the Khmer Empire. Travelers visit this site to see a smaller, less frequented example of Angkorian temple design.

The temple is located in the Angkor area, accessible from Siem Reap city centre via tuk-tuk or motorbike. The journey typically takes 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic and the specific starting point in the city. Visitors arriving via Siem Reap Angkor International Airport (SAI) will need to arrange transport to the city or directly to the archaeological park.
