The colourful monastery
The living quarters for the monks at Wat Thmey monastery are not spacious, but definitely well cared for and maintained. And the details sure is a colourful statement.
This monastery is connected to Thammissararam Pagoda, in the Roluos village in Siem Reap Province.
I have visited this monastery several times, as part of attending Cheng Meng-rituals and Pchum Benh with Khmer friends.

Prasat Lolei, ប្រាសាទលលៃ, is the northernmost temple in the old capital of the Khmer empire Hariharalaya. Finished in 893CE, the temple group of four towers was dedicated to Shiva.
The two tall brick temple towers were built in honour of the king’s grandparents. The two lower towers for his parents.
This was the last large temple build in Hariharalaya. Yasovarman I later moved the capital to Yaśodharapura, centred around Phnom Bakheng near Angkor Thom.

That nice sunny day I revisited Prasat Lolei.
Lolei, ប្រាសាទលលៃ, is the northernmost temple in the old capital of the Khmer empire Hariharalaya.
Finished in 893CE, the temple group of four towers was dedicated to Shiva and to members of the royal family by king Yasovarman I.Back then it was an Ashram nearby, today there is a modern pagoda and a monastery surrounding the classic site. The interior of the modern pagoda is worth a closer look.
