Pre Rup & East Mebon, Siem Reap, Cambodia, 2012
Not many pictures and so two temples in one clip. The first is Pre Rup. A 10th century Khmer mountain building from King Rajendravarman.The second temple is also from the 10th century. It is dedicated to Shiva, also from King Rajendravarman and stands on an ex-island.
The West Mebon Island & Baray Teuk Thla Resort at Siem Reap Province
We got to the west Mebon temple by boat as it's situated on an island in the middle of the west Baray Teuk Thla in Siem Reap Province. The west Mebon temple is a temple at Angkor. It's about 4km west of Angkor Thom Temple & 6.3km west of the Bayon Temple. We can only get there by boat. It's now under renovating. We can only see from outside.
Your support is a huge encouragement for me as a Khmer to continue sharing the tourist attraction places & Lifestyle in Cambodia to all Khmer and the World and bring more tourists to Cambodia.

East Mebon|| Angkor|| Siem Reap Cambodia
The East Mebon is a 10th Century temple at Angkor, Cambodia. Built during the reign of King Rajendravarman, it stands on what was an artificial island at the center of the now dry East Baray reservoir
The East Mebon was dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva and honors the parents of the king. Its location reflects Khmer architects’ concern with orientation and cardinal directions. The temple was built on a north–south axis with Rajendravarman’s state temple, Pre Rup, located about 1,200 meters to the south just outside the baray. The East Mebon also lies on an east–west axis with the palace temple Phimeanakas, another creation of Rajendravarman’s reign, located about 6,800 meters due west.
Built in the general style of Pre Rup, the East Mebon was dedicated in 953 AD. It has two enclosing walls and three tiers. It includes the full array of durable Khmer construction materials: sandstone, brick, laterite and stucco. At the top is a central tower on a square platform, surrounded by four smaller towers at the platform’s corners. The towers are of brick; holes that formerly anchored stucco are visible.

The sculpture at the East Mebon is varied and exceptional, including two-meter-high free-standing stone elephants at corners of the first and second tiers. Religious scenes include the god Indra atop his three-headed elephant Airavata, and Shiva on his mount, the sacred bull Nandi. Carving on lintels is particularly elegant.
Visitors looking out from the upper level today are left to imagine the vast expanses of water that formerly surrounded the temple. Four landing stages at the base give reminder that the temple was once reached by boat.

Cambodia Vlog: Preah Khan, Neak Pean, Ta Som, East Mebon & Frangipani Spa!

November 11, 2014
On our last and third day in Cambodia we returned to explore more of Angkor Wat's temples and relaxed with a massage session at Frangipani Spa.
Because we had already seen all of Angkor Wat's small circuit temples on our first day, we headed to the big circuit where we stopped at Preah Khan, Neak Pean, Ta Som and East Mebon. Each temple was unique and beautiful!
For our pampering session, we went to Frangipani Spa, which we first read about in The New York Times' 36 Hours in Siem Reap article. You can find the article here:
We thoroughly enjoyed our full body oil massages and recommend Frangipani Spa!
As always, happy travels to you and thank you for watching!!

Visit East Mebon Temple Siem Reap Cambodia
#VisitEastMebonTemple #SiemReapCambodia
East Mebon is a mountain temple which was built in the middle of the 10th century. It was built by King Rajendravarman 2 and dedicated to Shiva.
Mebon is a pyramid of terraces with stunning sculptures and statues, including the 2m high elephants which sit on each corner.
Although not as popular as the main temples (Angkor Wat, Bayon and Ta Prohm), it is a widely visited temple and one that you should definitely make time for during your visit to Siem Reap.
Location
East Mebon was built on an artificial island in the middle as East Baray. The baray was a reservoir built to store water, but it is now dry. The temple is located around 1km north of Pre Rup temple and a few kilometres south of Ta Som and Neak Pean.
Getting There
You can reach East Mebon from a few directions. Firstly, you can head east out of the Victory Gate at Angkor Thom towards Ta Prohm. Then keeping heading to Srah Srang and continue to Pre Rup. Follow the road round to the left and head north to East Mebon.
Alternatively, you can head east from Angkor Wat towards Srah Srang before following the to Pre Rup and then north.
If you’re coming from Banteay Samre, you can keep heading west for 2 or 3 kilometres where East Mebon will be to your right.
Tours
Most visitors will not just visit East Mebon alone. It will take less than an hour or two to explore the temple in its entirety. The temple usually forms part of the Angkor Wat Grand Circuit Tour.
It’s also possible to combine East Mebon with a visit to Banteay Samre as it’s not too far away.
If you want to see this temple, it’s recommended you combine it with other temples in the area such as Pre Rup, Banteay Kdei, Ta Som, or Neak Pean.
Why Visit East Mebon?
East Mebon is a great place to visit and you can get some great photos. There are the two-metre tall elephants which sit on each corner, the five towers which look like Angkor Wat, and great views of the surrounding area.
The temple isn’t as widely visited as other temples, but as it is part of the grand circuit tour, so it does get quite a few visitors. However, it’s quiet enough to get some great photos without having lots of people in the background.
History
East Mebon was built in the middle of the now dry East Baray which was originally called Yasodharatataka. It was built by King Rajendravarman 2 in 952 AD and dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva.
The temple wasn’t used as the King’s state temple, instead Pre Rup was was the state temple which was built less than a decade later.
It’s thought that East Mebon was deserted some time in the 16th century like most of the temples at Angkor.
East Mebon was rediscovered by French explorers in the 19th century and it was restored in the 1930s.
Layout and Design
There are five towers which sit on top of a three-tiered pyramid. There are three enclosures which surround the temple. The five towers represent the mythical home of the Hindu gods, Mount Meru.
In the middle of each of the four sides there is a landing platform for boats. On each corner, there is a two-metre tall elephant standing guard.
The Enclosures
The inner enclosure contains the second platform. Again, there is an elephant standing on each corner. In the enclosure there are five libraries and eight sanctuaries. They each contain detailed sculptures which are still visible today.
The entrance gates to the inner enclosure have very intricate carvings of Indra, Vishnu as well as elephants and lions.
The Third Level
On the third level there is a large sanctuary (tower) surrounded by four smaller towers at each corner. Here you can see carvings and inscriptions showing Shiva, Indra, and other figures from Hindu mythology. All of the five towers have a door pointing to the east, with fake doors on the other three directions.

VISIT 5 ANGKOR TEMPLES in SIEM REAP, i.e: PRE RUP, BANTEAY SREY, EAST MEBON, TA SOM and PREAH KHAN
This video is part of Our One Week Romantic Vacation in Cambodia, in April 2010. This video was posted late because we lost the video file, we just rediscovered it a month ago.
This part is the continuation of our first day visit at Angkor Wat in Siem Reap. On this 2nd day we visited 5 other temples in Angkor, i.e. Pre Rup, Banteay Srey, East Mebon, Ta Som and Preah Khan.
To make our visit easier and more pleasent (moving from one temple to another) then we rented a Tuk-Tuk.
Sorry, this video quality isn't as good as today's video because the cameras 10 years ago aren't as good as today's cameras.
