They mark the beginning of the classical period of Khmer civilization, dating from the late 9th century. Some were totally built with bricks, others partially with laterite or sandstone (the first large angkorian temple built with sandstone was possibly Ta Keo.

During the dry season when the lake is low and lack of water those buildings look like the skyscrapers.

We were on the boat 30mn to reach the floating monastery. While visiting the monastery, we would enjoy the peaceful and beautiful scenery.
- Prey Kop Community: when we leave from the pagoda, we will visit the local community. There is a density of tall forests. Even more, we could take the small boats to visit the surrounding. If you have rent the small boats over there, it means that you can help the local woman. Because before the woman over there has no work to do, just stay at home and taking of their children. No income revenue for their family, that why the leader of an association had created that to support them.
