Banteay Samre is a large, relatively flat temple near the south east corner of the East Baray, and has undergone extensive restoration this century. Banteay Samre was constructed around the same time as Angkor Wat. The style of the towers and balustrades bear strong resemblance to the towers of Angkor Wat and even more so to the Khmer temple of Phimai in Thailand. Many of the carvings are in excellent condition. The journey to Banteay Samre is a nice little road excursion through villages and paddie fields.
