The East Mebon (Khmer: ប្រាសាទមេបុណ្យខាងកើត) is a 10th Century temple at Angkor, Cambodia. Built during the reign of King Rajendravarman, it stands on what was an artificial island at the center of the now dry East Baray reservoir.: 73–75 : 116
The East Mebon was dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva and honors the parents of the king. Its location reflects Khmer architects’ concern with orientation and cardinal directions. The temple was built on a north–south axis with Rajendravarman's state temple, Pre Rup, located about 1,200 meters to the south just outside the baray. The East Mebon also lies on an east–west axis with the palace temple Phimeanakas, another creation of Rajendravarman's reign, located about 6,800 meters due west.
One of the highest temples in Angkor suitable for a view of the sunset. Visit the southeastern-most stall of the east parking lot for cold coconut juice.

A uniquely blend of Hinduism and Buddhism that has been left forgotten for hundreds of years.

One of the higher Temples in thé area and guarantee for a nice view around and watch the sunset. Rather calm as not so known and not so big. Watch thé lion sculptures.

One of the most beautiful temples in the east of the Angkor Wat Complex. Its characteristic are the stone elephants 🐘 in the 4 corners of each level. The shape is pyramidal and the towers form a quincunx as in Angkor Wat. The middle tower contains a little shrine. Very beautiful at sunrise 🌅 and sunset and then some busses bring a lot of people but apart from that you enjoy the temple in silence and solitude. My tipp: Take out your shoes at the top and surround the central tower with bare feet. The warm stone feels wonderful. Don't miss to enjoy an ice ❄ cold coconut and some sweet mango slices at the food stalls in front of the temple. The sellers are really lovely and happy to serve you.

The East Mebon is a mountain temple symbol dedicated to Shiva build by King Rajendravarman II halfway the 10th century. It was constructed on a man made 120 meters wide island in the East Baray, a huge water reservoir measuring 2 by 7 kilometers, and was only reachable by boat.

Pretty magical temple and super hot in the middle of the day. Crazy to think it would have been on it's own island back when the reservoir was in full function. Quite different to the other temples when you come around the big circuit so make sure you stop and enjoy this one!

This place is definitely one of the seven wonders of the world and other than the heat everything was amazing!
David FuhrmanApr 27, 2018
can't imagine how remarkable and beautiful of this place when the East reservoir still full operating function in that ancient period. there might be some specific reason for this temple to implement four elephant sculpture in each corner. a lot of beautiful Lintels with interesting mythical stories had hidden behind, prerequisite basic knowledge might be helpful to visit this place more enjoyable or the narrative from local experience guide might be helpful. highly recommended for visiting.

if you want to see time visit this place. the ancient city of angkor is best explored at this place. the entire city was swallowed by the huge jungle and the the process can be witnessed at the temple. huge spung tress with roots running g across the ground, over the walls and hanging from ceiling can be seen at this place. excellent opportunities for photography lie here abound.
