Preah Khan Temple

Before we break for lunch we went to Preah Khan Temple. Preah Khan in cambodian word means "sacred sword". This is a Buddhist temple. We spent almost an hour in this temple. I was amaze with the carving! This temple is located at near by the North Gate of Angkor Thom. We spent about an hour in the temple!
