Srah Srang

Srah Srang

Srah Srang is a royal reservoir located within the Angkor archaeological park. Visitors go here to see the remnants of ancient Khmer irrigation systems and the large rectangular basin of water. The site provides a quiet environment for observing the scale of the city's historical water management.

Getting There

The reservoir is located east of the city centre of Siem Reap. Most travellers reach the site via tuk-tuk or rented scooter. The journey typically takes 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic and the specific starting point in town.

Duration of Visit

Allow approximately 30 to 60 minutes to walk around the perimeter of the basin and view the surrounding structures. It is a smaller site compared to the major temple complexes.

When to Visit

Late afternoon is a common time to visit to avoid the midday heat. The site can become crowded during peak tourist seasons, particularly around sunset when many visitors gather by the water. The dry season is generally the most accessible time for visiting the Angkor site.
