Lonely Planet review for Sen Thmol, Sen Ravang & Tonlé Om
On the plain to the east of Phnom Chisor are the sanctuaries of Sen Thmol, just below Phnom Chisor, Sen Ravang and the former sacred pond of Tonlé Om. All three of these features form a straight line from Phnom Chisor in the direction of Angkor. During rituals held here 900 years ago, the king, his Brahmans and their entourage would climb a monumental 400 steps to Suryagiri from this direction.
There is a spectacular view of the temples and plains from the roofless gallery opposite the wooden doors to the central shrine of Phnom Chisor. Near the main temple is a modern Buddhist vihara that is used by resident monks.
