The triple hidden tower temple
Bat Chum is an "off the main track"-temple worth visiting.
One unique aspect of this temple is that the architect is known by name.
Bat Chum was supervised by the architect, minister and guru Kavindrarimathana to King Rajendravarman II approximately 952CE.
Another unique aspect, it was built as Mahayana Buddhist Temple when the Khmer Empire still had Hinduism as state religion.

Morning ride between Angkor Thom and Phnom Bakheng
Extensive bike tracks and easy rentals of sturdy, modern mountain bikes is a healthy option to explore Angkor and Siem Reap.
Early trips often gives the most exciting options regarding light and colours.
An added experience is to see and meet how locals live and make use of the cultural landscape bordering the archaeological marvels of the Angkor Park of Cambodia.

A treasure at mysterious West Prasat Top
This little temple is one of the hidden treasures near the beaten track.
It is close to the west side of the dried out East Baray. Been in use back to the 900s, when the baray was built.
But the current single tower, built on a pink laterite stone platform, is of post Bayon style. Built after 1200CE. And used long after the Empire. The lintels contain some decor from the 1100s. It's a templemix of 400 years.

Morning moment of peace and fishing
This little pond near Kror Sang Rolerng village is surrounded by rice paddocks, and close to Wat Athvear on the fourth.
Wat Athvear is both an active monastery and an old, small temple build in early Bayon style. This temple from the Khmer Imperial era is one of the closest to Siem Reap.
Worth visit to see a temple between two main styles of Angkor imperial architecture.
