Right across from Banteay Kdei, this still body of water is east-facing, and must offer some spectacular sunrise views. Any other time of the day, it is just a rippling lake, nice-looking, but not really worth making an extra trip out to see. The lead-up is lined with clothing and souvenir vendors, and there are a couple of restaurants on the right side, so it would make a good place for a lunch break, with a nice view. Spend your time across the road at Banteay Kdei instead!

Srah Srang is a 700 metre by 350 metre reservoir that you will find directly east of the Banteay Kdei temple complex in the Angkor Archeology Park. The lake was dug in the mid-10th century. In the 12th-century, a western landing platform was constructed.
From the western entrance to Banteay Kdei, you can make a quick 1 minute walk to the western platform, where you can view the expanse of Srah Srang. In addition to the lake the platform has good naga balustrades and guardian lions sculptures.
You can conveniently see Srah Srang after your visit to Banteay Kdei and then continue onward with your other intended temple visits.

Srah Srang is a must-visit spot for cycling teams looking for a picturesque coffee break during their morning rides. The breathtaking sunrise views and serene surroundings make it the perfect place to relax and recharge. The local villages surrounding the lake add to the charm, providing a unique cultural experience. With restaurants and a pool available, it's a great place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of nature. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates a stunning morning sunrise. Optional keywords: cycling, coffee break, sunrise views, local culture, serene surroundings.

The stop by this ancient reservoir was a peaceful and pleasant way to conclude our tour of the Ankor Wat area. We were there in the afternoon but our guide informed us that the sunrises over the water can be spectacular. Great to stop and catch your breath after a morning of climbing and walking through the magnificent temples of the area.

Right between "Banteay Kdei" and "Pre Rup", you will find a large pool and a beautiful terrace adorned with "naga" balaustrades and guardian lions. This is "Srah Srang", the "Royal Baths" of Angkor! It dates from the 10th century and was remodeled, in the 12th century, by King Jayavarman VII, the famous "builder" king of the Khmer empire. At the center of the pool, during the dry season, the ruins of a small temple can be seen. It was probably dedicated to "Kama", the god of love, and was undoubtedly used in ritual baths. Not very much visited, it may be a nice option for sunrise or sunset watching away from the daily crowds, with some beautiful views of the archaelogical complex. Enjoy!

Srah Srang is the name of the lake which I understand is also called the Royal Baths. We went to the terrace to view it. The terrace was built for the Royal barge. Probably takes 15 minutes to view

once upon a time a swimming pool of Royal size, now it is forbidden for normal folks to have a swim. but it is still a nice place, just accross the Banteay Kdei compound. sitting in the shade, gazing out on the water, and watching out for some Royal swimmer... relaxing.

Worth taking a quick look just to understand the scale of the work put in to build the basin. Also a quite place to catch your breath.

A place that is very less visited by tourists. Great for a short visit (approx 15 mins) after lunch or so. After that you can walk across the street to enter Banteay Kdei. Be wary of the shopkeepers that will harass you to visit her shop and curse you when you walk straight out of Sras Srang without visiting her shop.
