Ta Nei

Ta Nei, a 12th century stone temple located 800m north of Ta Keo and northwest corner of the Eastern Baray, was built by Jayavarman VII. There is something of the spirit of Ta Prohm here, albeit on a lesser scale, with moss and tentacle-like roots covering many outer areas of this small temple. It is a little hide-away is one of the temples left untouched by the tourists. To visit Ta Nei, ones need some 1.5km walk through a dusty trail but surround with untouched jungle plants and flora.

It now houses the Apsara Authority’s training unit and can be accessed only by walking across the French-built dam. To get to the dam, take the long track on the left, just after Spean Thmor when coming from Siem Reap.
