West Baray - TOUR HISTORY
West Baray or Baray Teuk Thla “clear water Baray” is one of two enormous reservoirs found in the Angkor Archaeological Park. West Baray, as the name suggests, is found west of the walled city of Angkor Thom. An identical reservoir was built to the east. Construction began in the 11th century during the reign of King Suryavarman I, and it was completed under King Udayadityavarman II, who also built the Baphuon Temple. Baray in Khmer means reservoir. West Baray is rectangular in shape and measures 8 kilometers by 3 kilometers making it, along with East Baray, two of the largest hand-cut reservoirs ever constructed on earth. In West Baray, an artificial island was created called West Mebon on which a Hindu Temple was built. - Prasat Ak Yum - WHAT CAN YOU EXPLORE?
