Thommanon

Temples of Angkor


Just north of Chau Say Tevoda, Thommanon borrows many features from Angkor Wat and was dedicated to Shiva and Vishnu. The small temple is in good condition thanks to extensive work undertaken by the EFEO in the 1960s. It is regularly used for high-end gala dinners by VIP visitors.
