Khmer people have been known as skilled boat makers throughout history and a number of various boats, including the boats used by their navy in a war to win a victory over Cham in the reign of King Jayavarman VII. Twenty nine of the ancient boat sculptures in Bayon temple are seen, demonstrating the courage of the navy during King Jayavarman VII’s period. The archaeologists illustrate that the ancient Khmer boats and Cham boats carved in the wall of the Bayon temple are the victories of King Jayavarman VII’s navy force over Cham’s navy in the war after 1177 A.D. One of these types of boats have been carefully constructed to resemble the fine art work done in the past.
