The Elephants terrace was built by King Jayavarman VII at the end of the 12th century. We are best friend and we really enjoy walking through this place. Traditional clothes with historical building

One of the larger complexes in Angkor. Lots of nice carvings. Opposite here there is alot of parking space and plenty of places to eat. Make sure you barter so you only pay $3/meal not $6

Feels it used to be a very important place in the past.
Carvings are in pretty good condition.
It's nice to walk around and see views especially on a gloomy day.

Historical promenade. The voices from near buddhist temple creates unbelievable atmosphere on this place.

Terrace of the Elephants is an impressive, two and a half-meter tall, 300 meter long terrace wall adorned with carved elephants and garudas spanning the front of Baphuon, Phimeanakas and the Royal Palace area at the heart of Angkor Thom. The northern section of the wall displays some particularly fine sculpture including the five headed horse and scenes of warriors and dancers. Constructed in part by Jayavarman VII and extended by his successor. The wall faces east so the best lighting for photography before noon. The Terrace of the Leper King is at the north end of the Terrace of the Elephants.

This would be the Royal Square, 300 mts of a 3 mts hi terrace, decorated with elephants you bas-relief and sculptures.

You can imagine the ruler, hi in his throne, looking at the people, their offerings, their demands.

Nobody protect the stones. Tourists destroying it with shoes. Apsara Authority don't care. Price of tickets since February of 2017 is 37$ (before it was 20$). Apsara Authority yearly sales is 3.000.000 of tickets with middle price = 62$. They need to cower stones with bridges with reservation professionals with wood, plastic and rubber to protect stones. They have money enough!

Definitely not the most elaborate structure here, but it's worth stopping and seeing

It is a grand terrace for the king to review his army and other festive events. To feel what it is like to be the king, you must walk along the top of the terrace and stand at the main stand and admire and imagine what is spread in front from left to right. To admire the beauty of the terrace, walk at the ground level to enjoy the elephant carvings on the wall. If you have limited, do half of each.

Not the best place in Angkor, but don't go upstairs! Interesting stuff is downstairs from the roadside!

The terrace and surrounding structures contain a number of sculptures of elephants and of the God of death Yama and his attendants. This is located close to the Baphuon Royal palace, in the Angkor Thom complex close to Angkor Wat.

I could feel the charm while walking on the Elephant Terrace. It is said that the king would view the elephant fight from this terrace.The carvings depict the purpose of the place.

Beautiful monuments- part of the much larger Angkor Tom complex. Go with a guide or you'll loose out on the rich history of the area.
