Thommanon
Thommanon. Located east of the Gate of Victory of Angkor Thom, across the road (north) from Chau Say Tevoda, Thommanon is rectangular in plan with a sanctuary opening the east, a moat and an enclosing wall with two entry towers, one on the east and another on the west, and one library near the southeast side of the wall.
Only trace of laterite base of the wall remains. Thommanon is a gem an should not be missed. It is similar in plan and style to Chau Sya Tevoda, which is close by. Built by King Suryavarman II from the end of the 11the to the first half of the 12the century and dedicated to Brahmanism.
