Chau Say Tevoda
Chau Say Tevoda is a 12th-century Hindu temple located east of Angkor Thom. Dedicated to the deities Shiva and Vishnu, the site is primarily visited for its detailed devata carvings. It serves as a representative example of the architectural style of the Angkor ruins from its period.

The temple is located outside the main city centre of Siem Reap. Most visitors reach the site via tuk-tuk or hired car from the city. The journey typically takes 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic and the specific starting point within the city.
Visit Duration
Due to its compact size, visitors generally spend between 30 and 60 minutes exploring the temple grounds and examining the stone carvings.

Early morning or late afternoon is recommended to avoid the midday heat. The site is generally less crowded than the primary temples like Angkor Wat, though it can see increased foot traffic during the peak dry season from November to February.
