Srah Srei (ស្រះស្រី - Pronounced: S'rah! S'rei!)
A relatively small-sized but important pond within Angkor Thom Royal Palace. The royal pond measures 125m x 45m and is located north of Prasat Phimeanakas.
The sandstone perimetre around the pond may have been constructed by King Jayavarman VIII as a later addition to the Royal Palace. It has 13 tiers of steps descending about 5 metres to a laterite base. It is adorned with intricate carvings all around, including on the lower sections depictions of marine life, cows, horses, elephants, along with two rows of female figures and familiar scenes found at the Terrace of the Leper King.
