Preah Palilay

Preah Palilay is a small forest temple where a Buddhist tower and seven-headed naga stairway stand beside older stonework. The forest setting makes its mixed religious features easier to study at close range.

Preah Palilay

Why go

The compact setting brings Buddhist and Hindu elements together in one stop. It offers a quieter architectural contrast to the large royal monuments in Angkor Thom. The naga stairway leads your eye toward the Buddhist tower, while older remains nearby tell a different part of the site’s history. Its modest footprint suits careful observation.

What to look for

  • Look for the seven-headed naga at the stairway.
  • Compare the Buddhist tower with the older temple remains.
  • Notice the forest growth close to the structure.

Useful to know

  • Approach on the marked path through the trees.
  • Look carefully at the stairway and tower before moving around the site.
