via Khmer Times, 03 Nov 2022: A team from France has been working to restore the West Mebon since 2012.
Nine towers of the West Mebon Temple are reemerging after three years of extensive restoration work and supported by the French Embassy, providing another site for tourists to see while visiting the Angkor Archaeological Park, the Apsara National Authority (ANA) said.
Long Kosal, a spokesman for ANA, said yesterday that the temple had almost completely collapsed, meaning that before restoration work began, the structure was in a state of extreme disrepair.
He added that ANA has confirmed that the temple has been restored to its original appearance, but there was still more restoration work to complete.
