temple is Wat in Khmer.the word “Wat” is a khmer word and so is “Angkor”
You wouldn’t call “Wat Phnom” “Phnom Wat”.
So why would you call “Angkor Wat” “wat Angkor”?The word “prasat” also means “monument” and “temple”

heehehe
i used the word “also” because you said prasat means “castle”.
so I said the word “prasat” also means “monument” and “temple”.
do you know what I was implying?

Anyways,Since you said that Angkor is a temple, why not build one of those in LOng Beach…LOL
if it can be built anyway, it wouldn’t be a masterpiece or is it?

Well, Wat is Wat, Prasat is Prasat, it two different meaning.
me thinks Prasat, Preah Vihear and Wat are translated to temple.
Angkor Wat was/is a place of worship. I don’t believe the royals resided there.
(correct me if I’m wrong).

who said it was “wat angkor”?I’m not sure what “prasat” is, but I know “vaeng” is the place where the king and queen live.

Well castle is the king and queen live, so does it mean prasat in khmer.
Thanks for the definition.
Like you, I don’t think the royals lived in Angkor Wat.
it’s a big building and I’m sure they stayed there every now and then.
But it’s not their residence.
The highest tower is the most sacred place in Angkor Wat. if i remember correctly, that’s where the king prayed.

Cambodia town? I see nothing improved in Long Beach for the last 25 years. Not even one temple existing in the town. Not even one Khmer architecture building existing in the town. The restaurant and super market most likely own by Chinese-Cambodian. The food taste nothing like Cambodian food. It so ashamed to claim the town as Cambodian town.I speak the true.

Understand the different:
Angkor= is the city of Ankor.
Vihear= is mean temple. The place where they build to worship such god.
Preah sat not prasat= also mean temple
prasat = mean castle
Vaeng= Palace
Wat= is just like a church where the priest pray for those who believed such god. In khmer they usually called wat ahram, the place where monk Chanting.
Ankor wat or Praeh sat Angkor or in Enlish they called temple ankor. Is name after the city of Angkor.
Whoever study Khmer they should know all of these.

PS: In khmer, Prasat sounds like this “prah-saht”

Then why I asked you for Wat you Show me Temple.
You do not like to pay attention.
see the bold part. That’s wat i was responding to.
but i want point out that in khmer “prasat” is written like this:
ប្រាសាទ (prah-saht) NOT “Preah sat”
You told us it means castle and we told you that the word also means “monument” and “temple”.
that’s what we have been trying to tell you.
Also, Angkor alone means “city”
Angor Wat = the city of temples
Angkor Wat is one of the temples in THE city.
Angkor Wat is a temple…if you go to khmer wat or temples in Cambodia, the monks do not live where they pray or where they do ceremonies. They live in other buildings.
Angkor Wat was the same way. That’s why there were many houses and huts around the temple ground.
