Prasat Bei is a small Angkor ruin that look quite similar to Prasat Kravan. It was built during the 10th century in the Bakheng style, during the reign of King Yasovarman I. Prasat Bei is located between Baksei Chamkrong and the south moat of Angkor Thom. From Baksei Chamkrong, take the road towards the causeway of Angkor Thom. Just before arriving, turn left down a path. Pass Thma Bay Kaek for another 125 meters you arrive at Prasat Bei.

Prasat Bei consists of three towers (the name Prasat Bei means "three towers"). They stand on a laterite platform. The temple appears to have not been completed, as evidence by only the central and south tower lintels were carved. Nonetheless, the central tower houses a linga.
