The World Monuments Fund (WMF) is continuing its cooperation with the APSARA National Authority to restore the western side of Phnom Bakheng, with the entire project expected to be completed in 2029.
According to Chiv Phirom, technical director of WMF’s Phnom Bakheng restoration project, work on the western side began in early 2026 and is scheduled to finish in 2029.
Experts said that restoration of Phnom Bakheng as a whole is now approximately 75 percent complete, while restoration work on its western side is about 25 percent complete.
Since 1989, WMF has taken part in conserving and restoring Preah Khan, Ta Som and Angkor Wat, and is currently restoring Phnom Bakheng.
