Preah Ponlea Sdach Komlong (Terrace Of The Leper King) Review

The Lai Wang Step is located on the north side of the Douxiangtai. It is a seven-meter-high platform with many exquisite carvings on the guard wall around the platform. Lai Wang Platform was the site of the Royal Crematorium at that time, and was named after a statue of Lai Wang on the platform.

A building with many, many small reliefs, the height of the floor is not high, there are many layers, walking in the passage, the feeling of the gods on both sides is very wonderful. On the north side of the Douxiangtai, you will not miss it.

It doesn't look like a cremation platform at all. Few people are close to here to carefully observe the reliefs, but they are all strange and different. The vivid image of the reliefs of large and small characters is connected with the Douxiangtai.

Well preserved carvings on a wall in the Angkor Thom area. It can get very busy here, so try and time your visit accordingly.

Terrace of the Leper King on King Lai's steps - "a legendary king with leprosy. There are many ornamental sculptures in the corridor under the steps. Angkor reliefs, which were destroyed by the rings of storms and wars, are everywhere. They are still beautiful to the extreme. The magnificence of the reliefs hundreds of thousands of years ago is beyond imagination. It has a strong visual effect. There are many reliefs in the Greek Batlon sculpture, but the relief there is relatively flat. Angkor's relief is the greatest achievement in the history of world art, and it is the most difficult in the technique of expression. )

The small step on the edge of the war elephant step is the King Lao step. Its usefulness and name are mysterious, but the mainstream saying is the Royal crematorium. The walls beneath the steps of King Lao are densely packed and exquisite Buddhist carvings with mottled but vivid colors. The platform is 6 meters high and each side is 25 meters long. It is built with laterite and rock.

Very worth visiting and learning place, very rewarding.
