Royal Residence

Apart from being the official secondary royal residence for the Cambodian monarch, the villa is a frequented local site and tourist attraction in Siem Reap, although direct physical entry is not permitted by members of the public. However, it can be viewed from the exterior, with the adjoining Royal Independence Gardens being publicly accessible. The nearby King Master Statue and Preah Ang Chek Preah Ang Chorm shrine, which are both locally revered and religiously significant can be publicly accessed as well, though only at during certain intervals of the day. This is due to the construction of a taller, larger fencing with gates that now surrounds the outer royal compound in addition to the smaller one that had already pre-existed as part of the inner compound.

Preah Ang Chek Preah Ang Chom Temple

The statues of Preah Ang Chek Preah Ang Chorm were both bronze statues rediscovered in 1950 in the forest around Angkor Thom by Angkor conservation officials. It is believed that the statue of Preah Ang Chek and Preah Ang Chorm were originally kept in the temple of Angkor Wat. According to the Institute of the Humanities and Social Sciences of the Royal Academy of Cambodia, Khmer king Ang Chan I or Chan Reachea who ascended the throne in the 16th century would have allowed the installation of the two bronze statues in Angkor Wat in honor of these two princesses, which were considered by then as bodhisattvas who received great honour and veneration. The statues were later lost as Angkor Wat was neglected.
