Spean Thma

Spean Thma is a stone bridge located in the Angkor Archaeological Park, situated to the west of the Ta Keo temple. It is one of the few remaining bridges constructed during the Khmer Empire era. Travelers visit this site to see an example of ancient Khmer engineering and masonry.

Getting There

The bridge is located within the Angkor complex, several kilometers from Siem Reap city centre. Most visitors reach the site via tuk-tuk or hired vehicle from the city. The journey typically takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on traffic and the specific starting point in town.

Visit Duration

Because the site is a single architectural structure rather than a large complex, visitors generally spend 15 to 30 minutes here. It is often used as a brief stop between larger temple visits.

Timing and Tips

The site is outdoors and exposed to the sun, so early morning or late afternoon is preferable to avoid midday heat. The dry season is the standard time for visiting the region. While not as crowded as the primary temples, the surrounding area can become busy during peak tourist hours.

Nearby Attractions

Due to its location, this bridge can be combined with several other nearby sites:

  • Chau Say Tevoda (0.1km)
  • Thommanon (0.3km)
  • Ta Keo (0.5km)
  • Mangalartha (1.1km)
