East Baray is one of the largest ancient reservoirs built by the Khmer Empire, located
within the Angkor region near Siem Reap, Cambodia. Constructed in the tenth century, it
played a vital role in water management and agricultural support for the ancient city.
Stretching several kilometers, the reservoir reflects the advanced engineering skills of the
Khmer civilization. Today, East Baray offers open landscapes, quiet surroundings, and
insight into Angkor’s hydraulic system.
For travelers, East Baray provides a peaceful stop away from crowded temples and a
deeper understanding of Angkor’s infrastructure.
