Healing Temple

#bucketlistreboot It was built in the second half of the 12th century by King Jayavarman VII, dedicated to Buddhists. There are two ways to get to Neak Pean, you can either approach it from Angkor Thom in the east or Ta Som in the west, either way you still need to cross the bridge, because it was built on the reservoir. Each of the four pools represent water, earth, fire and water, connected to a central pool by a stone channel. When the temple was first built, the sculptures of the four heads still can be seen when the water is low. If you believe in folklore, you might even improve your health after visiting Neak Pean, so it is included in the Grand Circuit Tour.
