Prasat Bei (Khmer: ប្រាសាទបី) means "three towers", it is a temple with three brick towers stand in a north-south row, facing to the east and standing on a laterite platform. The central tower contained a linga, the flanking towers reach no higher than the doorways. Only the lintels of the central and south towers were carved, both showing Indra on the elephant Airavata.
