Spean Thma

The Spean Thma bridge extends with fourteen narrow arches constructed from sandstone blocks, spanning across a former path of the Siem Reap River.

Built during the Khmer Empire period and reconstructed in the 15th century, this bridge facilitated trade routes between Angkor Thom and the Eastern Baray.

The bridge structure exhibits the engineering methods of ancient Khmer architects who crafted precise stone arrangements without using mortar in the construction.

Located at coordinates 13.444722, 103.8775, the bridge stands 3 kilometers from the main road leading to Angkor Wat archaeological complex.

Each of the fourteen arches measures exactly 1.10 meters in width, demonstrating the mathematical precision of Khmer architectural planning.
