Prasat Pram - Also known as Pram Temple, Prasat Pram is an ancient temple complex from the Khmer Empire, built in the 10th century during King Jayavarman IV’s reign. It highlights the pride and power of the Khmer Empire at its height. Prasat Pram is distinguished by its unique architecture, featuring sandstone towers arranged in a distinctive layout unlike other regional temples.

Krachap Temple - Prasat Kra Chap is a small temple with two well-preserved gopuras and the remains of five towers arranged in a quincunx. Inscriptions on the doorframes reveal its dedication in 928 to Tribhuvanadeva, a linga representation of Shiva. The pediments in the two gopuras are styled similarly to Banteay Srei, near Angkor, built 40 years later.
-
Prasat Chen - Prasat Chen, or Chen Temple of Koh Ker, consists of three laterite temples on a shared terrace, flanked by two brick “library” buildings, and enclosed by a laterite wall with brick entrance gopuras to the east and west, followed by another laterite enclosure wall with a long laterite terrace. Although the site is quite ruinous, it is particularly intriguing due to the discovery of the original statuary, detailed further below. Of the three grand laterite towers, the southernmost features a beautiful lintel with a Garuda separating two entwined naga serpents.

Prasat Neang Khmau - Prasat Neang Khmao is a large square temple made of laterite on a sandstone base, surrounded by a laterite wall. It features several false levels that decrease in size towards the top, with accent pieces and a “mini prasat” decorative piece at each corner. The sandstone base still retains traces of exquisite decorative carvings. It is one of the best-preserved temples available.
