East Mebon

East Mebon is a temple that was built in the 10th century. The unique thing about East Mebon is that it is actually built on an island. The surrounding area is a now dry man made reservoir called East Baray. When standing on top you have to imagine this entire temple was surrounded by water.

The temple has three tiers and five towers on top. Fairly well preserved for one of the older temples at Angkor. The temple marks the center of East Baray.

Directions: South of Ta Som on the Grand Circuit road.
