Prasat Bei

Prasat Bei is a temple complex in the Angkor region consisting of three brick towers arranged from north to south on a laterite platform. Visitors go here to see the architectural layout and the specific carvings on the lintels of the central and southern towers, which depict the god Indra riding an elephant.

Getting There

The site is located within the Angkor Archaeological Park. From Siem Reap city centre, most travellers use a remork (tuk-tuk) or a hired vehicle. The journey typically takes 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic and the specific starting point in town.

Visit Duration

Because of its small scale and the specific focus on the three towers, most visitors spend between 30 and 60 minutes exploring the site.

When to Visit

Early morning or late afternoon is recommended to avoid the midday heat. The dry season is the standard time for visiting the region. This site generally receives fewer crowds than the primary major temples in the park.
