Tucked away in the northwest corner of Angkor Thom’s Royal Square is the mysterious Terrace of the L***r King. Built in the Bayon style under King Jayavarman VII, this spot holds centuries of stories.
The statue here—often mistaken for a leper—actually represents Yama, the Hindu god of death. Locals call him Dharmaraja, and legend has it an ancient king with leprosy once ruled here. The mossy statue only adds to the eerie charm.
If you're wandering through Angkor, don’t skip this hidden gem. It’s haunting, historic, and totally worth the stop. 🛕✨
