Before we head to Siem Reap we eingegroovt only a little bit to the next temple. Specifically in the Sambor Prei Kuk temple complex.
The history of Tempelstaette goes back to the late 6th Century, when King Mahendravarman Cambodia united and Sambor Prei Kuk made it his capital. Of 610-628 carried the city's name Ishanapura that is traced back to the same king. In this time the oldest surviving buildings in the three temple groups, which then housed the biggest temple in Southeast Asia. The Ruins consist of more than 150 temples and towers, covering an area of over 300 hectares. There are three major complexes, which were surrounded by walls. Sambor Prei Kuk was 944 base seized power Rajendravarman II, who ascended the throne of Angkor. It was then left town and the name Sambur Prei Kuk disappeared from the history books.
Without TukTuk Waehren the journey is not to deal with there. Since it had rained in the night, was the road that is only a broad dirt track, mighty muddy. Two tourists who were on a rented Mopet way, one could hardly distinguish from the road. After 30km you can see from simple as the street. And potholes the size of inflatable paddling pool. Of course, with a stuffing.
