Cambodia: Spean Thma, a stone Khmer bridge between the Victory gate of Angkor Thom and the temple of Ta Keo, Angkor

Spean Thma (Khmer: ស្ពានថ្ម) is known as the bridge of stone and it is located west of Ta Keo. It is one of the few Khmer Empire era bridges to have survived to the modern day.

It was built on the former path of the Siem Reap River between Angkor Thom and the Eastern Baray and it was probably rebuilt after the Khmer period (around the 15th century), as it includes many reused sandstone blocks.
