Phimeanakas Temple

Phimeanakas is a stepped pyramid inside Angkor Thom’s former royal enclosure, with a clear sequence of terraces and stairways. Elephant sculptures at the corners connect its tiered form to the palace grounds.

Phimeanakas Temple

Why go

The compact monument helps explain the royal precinct as a working complex, rather than a group of isolated temples. Its tiered form and stone elephants are the details to read on site. View the stacked levels from within the enclosure, then locate the corner elephants. That sequence helps place a compact pyramid in the larger former royal compound.

What to look for

  • Look at the pyramid’s stacked levels.
  • Find the elephant sculptures at the corners.
  • Notice its position within the former palace enclosure.

Useful to know

  • Stay on open visitor routes; upper steps can be steep.
  • Combine it with nearby palace-area monuments on the same walk.
