Small (55m x 47m),
semi-ruined, untouristed jungle temple reminiscent of
Ta
Som,
and displaying classic Jayavarman VII artistry. Some of the
apsara and lintel carvings are in pretty good condition. In much
rougher shape than most of the temples on the main tour circuit.
The primary road to Ta Nei from where it meets the Grand
Circuit road near the southeast corner of
Ta
Keo was
closed on last inspection. To get to Ta Nei, park at the
end of the road near Ta Keo and walk the dirt road about
1km to Ta Nei, or by motorcycle, follow unmarked dirt
road from just outside the Victory Gate of Angkor Thom to the
'French Dam.' Cross the dam and proceed 200m up a small path. |
