Located east of Angkor Thom, built around 1000AD, generally
lacks any detailed ornamentation, unusual for
Angkor
. It is one of the great temple
mountains at
Angkor
. It is more than 20 meters high,
and with the steep, narrow steps leading up to the top, can bring out a fear of
heights more than any other building at
Angkor
, at least in my opinion. I was
frozen for about 10 minutes at the top, looking down at the steep side, where
the steps were significantly narrower than my size 12 boots.
No railings, escalators, or care given to liability concerns (although
they have cleared the entire
Angkor
complex of land mines, supposedly).
