Back for More Nokor

Copyright Tan and Trev 2005

First built in the 8th century, Wat Nokor is known locally as Wat Angkor.

It is a real gem of a ruin.

Although not obvious from the pictures on offer yesterday, it is a suprisingly large construction.

There are three outer walls with gopuras at each compass point. This shot is at the rear of the building, looking out towards the neighbouring village.

Wat Nokor is worth exploring at a slow pace because it offers lots of carved apsaras that decorate the walls and a number of sandstone and laterite buildings and libraries.
