Preah Khan

Preah Khan or “The sacred sword of King” is the second largest temple enclosure in Angkor. Within its square kilometer enclosure lies a temple complex which is almost as atmospheric as Ta Prohm. Like the nearby Ta Prohm, Preah Khan has been left largely unrestored, with numerous trees and other vegetation growing among the ruins. Preah Khan had an army of 80,000 to service and maintain it. It must have been an amazing sight.
