The Cambodia Daily reported that Cambodian soldiers have rediscovered the Dai Kei temple and two wells located near Ta Moan temple, Oddar Meanchey province. The small temple is located about 1 km from the Thai border. Soldiers made the discovery after obtaining information from elderly villagers. However, the soldiers only saw the temple foundation and two ancient walls. Five other small ruins can also be seen near the temple. Dai Kei temple is estimated to be built during the 11th century, under the reign of King Suryavarman I who was responsible for the construction of many temples along the Dangrek mountain.
