There is not much left from the temple itself, however the view is nice, even from the way up. Great place to see the sunset. After 17..17:30 the entry is free. Only 1000 Khr for the parking if you want to park just in the front of the temple

One of the oldest temple of the complex. The road with the motobike along the reservoir is really nice. There is a lady checking and keeping an eye on that temple. I tried to use my humble khmer language, but I didn't go super far in the conversation, unfortunately. However, I believe that a lone stranger trying to talk the language with her made her feel less lonely than usual. The temple sure is only ruined and symbols from the past. Imagine that much history from the VII century sitting there

Only people there were workers, coincidentally on their lunch break, so it's a small, quiet, shady place. The oldest temple of them all. Just the explore to get out of the hot sun. A nice place to visit if you're going to West Mebon, it won't take too long, as there's not much to look at, but, interesting for its age. near the outlet of the Baray where kids play in the spillway, presumably you can too. the road is bad during the rainy season, but passable.

One of the more humble temples to visit. You’ll likely be there all by yourself. Easy enough to get to, but rather anti-climactic. Okay to skip, especially if it’s raining.

This temple is still under preservation process n more than half of its original structure has gone of course due to perhaps humankind made disasters rather than climate change or natural disasters. Road is not very good, quite muddy to access to this one either side of Baray, so beware of that.
