Site Size & Condition: Ancient Bridge Spean Thom (ស្ពានធំ - Pronounced: Spien Thom) one of the many historic bridges built by King Jayavarman VII that spans the Royal roads leading out from Angkor to the far stretches of the empire. This bridge is a large bridge according to the local name "Thom" however it is unsure as to how long the bridge spans and how many arches it has. It still stands as part of a modern dirt road.
