Situated in a wooded area just to the right of the road after leaving Angkor Thom’s north gate on the way to Preah Khan, Krol Romeas is not a temple and is thought to have been constructed as an arena of some sort, perhaps for taming wild elephants.
However, ‘romeas’ means rhinoceros, whereas ‘damrei’ means elephants, so the name doesn’t really make much sense. All that can be seen today is a deep laterite walled enclosure or pit with obvious evidence of additional wooden constructions. It was within easy distance of the parade ground and royal palace area, but just outside the populated area of ‘downtown’ Angkor Thom.
A wooden sign on the left of the road points to the entrance on the right — our photos are disastrously bad as the path floods very easily so often you won’t be able to get there. If that’s the case, don’t bother trying going through other paths nearby to get around to it — we tried an ‘unmarked forest route’ to no avail.
Krol Romeas (purported "kraol romeers") essentially is a marginally elliptic circle made of laterite. As far as anyone knows it was just used as a walled in area to keep creatures, elephants specifically. For this situationKrol Romeas is one of only a handful couple of indications of the immense amount of practical buildings in Angkor that have vanished as they were typically wooden structures. Stone was saved for religious landmarks. Aside from Krol Romeas the stone scaffolds, city dividers and dikes were the main exemptions among common structures. There is some confirmation of additional wooden developments at Krol Romeas.
Krol Romeas is found somewhere between the Angkor Thom Northgate and the Preah Khan Westgate at the Grand Circuit, just 150 meters far from the street, inside the wilderness. A board on the right side denote the entrance trail. Krol Romeas can not be come to effortlessly amid the blustery season or after overwhelming precipitation. There is no compelling reason to arrange a visit at a particular hour. There will be no ticket reviewer covering up inside Krol Romeas, and you can meet the spot from the west utilizing a minor street parallel toward the north canal of Angkor Thom. Be that as it may, going to the close-by PreahKhan and different landmarks along the same Grand circuit street is unrealistic without Angkor ticket. What's more, you ought to dependably have one when utilizing the Grand Circuit street.
