Prasat Angkor Spean Khang Kaeut (ប្រាសាទអង្គរវត្ត ស្ពានហាល - Pronounced: Pra-saht Ong-kor Waht S'pien Karng Kaeult)
The east entrance causeway to Prasat Angkor Wat spans approximately 190m from east to west and is about 56m wide. The ancient causeway leads onto Kuk Ta Kuk Kou, the east entrance gopura.
Unlike Spean Harl the main west entrance causeway, this causeway lacks sandstone terraces, lion statues and naga balustrades. The causeway is said to be built from sandstone also, though apparently it was a different quality of sandstone/from a different quarry/region.
This causeway has yet to be restored by the authorities.
