Have you ever wondered what lies beneath the surface of the earth? At Boeung Thom, a massive basin in the heart of Angkor, you can see exactly that. Boeung Thom is a giant, east-west oriented basin, measuring 350 meters by 180 meters. It’s a unique geological wonder, a reservoir carved from the earth by ancient Khmer engineers. Imagine the scale of this project, the sheer manpower needed to excavate this massive basin. Boeung Thom wasn’t just a reservoir; it was an integral part of the Angkor Thom’s complex irrigation system. Boeung Thom, also known as Beng Thom, played a crucial role in supplying water to the city during the dry season. The basin was connected to Rong Ta Dev, a runoff drainage hole in the outer wall of Angkor Thom. Today, Boeung Thom is a fascinating glimpse into the ingenuity and engineering skills of the ancient Khmer civilization.
