Banteay Srey is a magnificent jewel of a temple. Finely sculpted, with an incredible richness of details, the pink shades of the sandstone come alive in the early morning and at the end of the day.
Switzerland has provided one million Swiss Francs (about 880,500 USD) in aid for a repairing project of Banteay Srey temple in Siem Reap province, Cambodia news agency (AKP) reported on Jan. 27.
An agreement on the aid was signed in Phnom Penh on Jan. 26 by Sun Saphoeung, Secretary of State of the Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and Rodolphe S. Imhoof, Swiss Ambassador to Cambodia .

I hope they will be able to restore it and maintain it. Can you tell us more about this temple?

It is one of the most beautiful jewels in Angkor archaeological area in Cambodia. I took this photo during my last trip in southeast Asia, in february 2008.
