  Khmer (Angkor) Temples: Chau Say Thevoda
Chau Say Tevoda is a small temple of similar design and floor plan to that of Thommanon located across the street (except for additional gopuras and library), but for years appeared as Thommanon’s neglected sister, languishing in significantly worse condition than Thommanon, which had been restored back in the 1960s.
Chau Say Tevoda seems to stand in partnership with Thommanon, but in fact was built much later in Suryavarman II’s rule.
Chau Say Tevoda displays some well-executed carvings that are in still fair condition, especially those on the eastern gopura.
