Wat Tang Tok

Wat Tang Tok is a small monastery inside Angkor Thom, not far from Victory Gate, north of Vihear Prampil Loveng. During an Angkorian era, Wat Tang Tok housed a laterite shrine with sandstone sculptures, but today only a pile of rocks remains in the original structure. The modern pagoda with living monks was built next to the ruin and even though it contains naga snakes and lion lions, it seems to be of interest to the modern.

The resident monks, as well as all the other people of Cambodia, refer to the monastery as Wat Tang Tok, however, Apsara Authority, which is paid to bypass the Angkor Archaeological Park, supposedly decided to rename it to Preah Ang Sang Tuk . The reason for this movement as well as whether they are known are unknown.
