Khleangs
About the Khleangs
The Khleangs consist of two brick buildings located within the Angkor Thom complex. They flank the road connecting the royal palace to the Victory Gate. Although constructed by different kings during different eras, the structures share a similar architectural style. Visitors go here to observe these specific historical buildings and their placement within the city's layout.
Getting There
These ruins are located in Siem Reap, accessible from the city centre via tuk-tuk or motorbike. The journey typically takes 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic and the specific starting point within the town.
Visit Duration
Because the site consists of two similar buildings in a small area, most visitors spend approximately 30 to 60 minutes here.
When to Visit
Early morning or late afternoon is recommended to avoid the midday heat. The site can get crowded during the peak tourist season, particularly when large tour groups move through the Angkor Thom circuit.
Nearby Attractions
The buildings are situated close to several other historical sites, making them easy to combine into a single walking itinerary:
