Yeay Peau Temple

Description

Yeay Peau is a small temple associated with the Tonle Bati heritage group. It stands in a living religious setting close to Ta Prohm.

Its name is associated with local stories; legend should be distinguished from dated architectural evidence. The guide does not promise an intact large temple.

How to Get There

National Road 2 connects Phnom Penh with the Takeo corridor. Use a car or intercity road transport for the main journey, then a tuk-tuk or car for individual heritage stops.

For Yeay Peau Temple, continue toward Tonle Bati, Bati. A car or motorbike covers the local road section; use the established approach for the final walk and keep a return vehicle for a countryside outing.

Admission

A reliable current ticket price for this site is not published in the reviewed sources. Keep transport and any parking or guide service separate from admission; voluntary religious donations are not the same as a published ticket.

Things to Do

Combine the outing with the nearby heritage landscape, allowing time to confirm access and return transport.

What to Eat

Takeo town and roadside settlements offer freshwater fish, rice and noodle dishes. Carry water for hill climbs and eat outside the temple precinct.

Where to Stay

Takeo town suits Angkor Borei and the southern province. Phnom Penh is convenient for the northern Tonle Bati and Phnom Chisor outings; these are different itineraries.

Best Time to Visit

Morning or late afternoon is more comfortable for exposed courtyards and climbs. The cooler, drier months from November to February suit longer heritage walks.

Before You Go

Respect local residents and worshippers. Stay on permitted paths; ask before entering buildings or photographing people. Do not climb fragile masonry or remove stone fragments.
