Other Temples at Angkor

There are many other minor temple complexes in the area around Angkor. Most of these would be world famous were they off in the jungle by themselves as opposed to being in the shadow of their most famous neighbor. East of Angkor Thom I visisted Ta Keo and Banteay Kdei and to the north, Preah Khan and Preah Neak Pean.
Ta Keo (Jayavarman V r. 968-1001) is dedicated to Shiva
