A practical guide to Srah Srang, the historic reservoir opposite Banteay Kdei and a quieter sunrise option.
What it is
Srah Srang is a large historic reservoir with a stone landing terrace.
Sunrise option
It can provide a quieter early morning atmosphere than Angkor Wat.
Best pairing
Banteay Kdei sits directly nearby, making the two an easy combination.
How long to stay
This is more of a landscape stop than a long monument visit.
My use
I would consider it when you want one calm pause built into a temple heavy day.
