SIEM REAP: Tourists visiting the Chau Say Tevoda-Thommanon temples will now have access to two different path options which will better guide their tour of the ancient structure. Head of Tourism for the temples, Khoeun Kosal, said that the APSARA Authority organized the two paths to provide a more comprehensive tour of the temples and to cater to different guests’ needs. He said that one of the paths is shorter and closer to vehicle parking, where visitors can enter through the northern gate. The second path is longer and takes people through the Takeo Garden and enters the Chau Say Tevoda temple from the east.

Previously, the site was more free-form and did not establish a start or end point for the visit. The paths are now operational and the tourism agent is refilling potholes to make it easier for guests to walk through.

Chau Say Tevoda temple is just east of Angkor Thom and was built in the late 11th century during the reign of King Suryavarman II. While it is a smaller temple, Chau Say Tevoda has many beautiful carvings, and there is an attractive bridge at the east entrance where tourists can take pictures. Just 500 meters away is the Thommanon Temple which is similar in style, but better preserved than its neighbour and includes the remains of a library.
