Wat Banan Travel Reviews

May 09, 2007
This temple, located on the top of a mountain in Kanti II commune in Banan district, was built during the Angkorian reign in the 11th century, consisting of five prasats. It was started under king Udayadityavarman II (1050-1066) and finished by king Jayavarman VII (1181-1219). At the foot of the mountain, there is a moat and two natural wells: Bet Meas and Chhoung

Enjoy from this peaceful location a great view over the area and the L'Ang Prut Meas caves. The active pagoda, located at the foot of the mountain is over 150 years old.
