Prasat Bat Chum is a small but fascinating temple located near Srah Srang and Banteay Kdei. Built in the 10th century under King Rajendravarman II, this quiet sanctuary features three brick towers standing on a laterite platform, each with beautiful carvings and inscriptions.

What makes this temple special is its peaceful atmosphere—unlike the crowded main temples, you’ll often have this place almost to yourself. The intricate lintels and the serene surroundings make it a perfect spot for photography and quiet reflection.

While it’s not as grand as Angkor Wat or Bayon, its historical charm and off-the-beaten-path vibe make it worth a visit if you’re exploring the area. Pair it with a trip to nearby Ta Prohm or Banteay Kdei for a fuller experience.
