| Srah Srang: 9 Oct 2003 | ||||
| 'The royal bath'. It was, perhaps, a chapel to Kama, god of love. The spot would suit the temper of the strange power, terribly strong and yet terribly tender, of that passion which carries away kingdoms, empires, whole worlds, and inhabits also the humblest dwellings... Love could occupy this quiet net embedded in water... gave the impression that love had come one day and had left there, when he went away, apart of his spirit. | ||||

With an elegant landing terrace, Srah Srang is a pleasant spot to sit and visually explore the surrounding plains. Facing east, straight ahead, the towers of Pre Rup can be seen. Year round, Srah Srang always has water, and is surrounded by lush greenery. |
