Three new circuits at Angkor Archaeology Park

Apsara Authority is operating three new visiting circuits in Angkor Archaeology Park to attract more tourism and more choice for the visitors. They are at Neak Poan, Chau Say Tevota, and Thommanon and a three-day seminar, which ended yesterday, was held to prepare participants to organise tours at the circuits, Apsara Authority spokesman Long Kosal said.

He said temple tour guides should participate in promoting the new circuits. “They should implement safe tours and be well-versed about the temples and their values in order to provide information to the visitors,” he said, noting that this was one of the purposes for holding the seminar.

Neak Poan is an artificial island in Jayatakat Baray, which was associated with Preah Khan temple, built during the reign of King JayavarmanVII. It was originally designed for medical purposes. It was believed to be one of the many hospitals that Jayavarman VII built.
