The West Mebon of Angkor Wat

The Western Baray is the largest of the man-made lakes at Angkor. Although it's not known exactly when the lake was built, the temple in its center called the West Mebon appears to date from the 11^th century.

The Mebon temple is reached by boat from the south dike of the Baray. Depending on the water level, you can walk around the Mebon to see the fallen stones.
