Thommanon

The temple contains a central sanctuary tower, entrance building, and library, all adorned with detailed stone carvings of Hindu deities and celestial females.

Built during the reign of King Suryavarman II in the 12th century, Thommanon reflects architectural elements similar to those found in Angkor Wat.

The temple features numerous carved devatas wearing traditional Khmer attire, including detailed crowns, skirts, armbands, ankle bands, and necklaces.

Visitors can reach Thommanon by taking the second left after exiting Angkor Thom's Victory Gate, making it an easy addition to temple tours.

The French School of Asian Studies conducted restoration work in the 1960s, resulting in Thommanon's superior preservation compared to neighboring temples.
