Suryavarman II (''Paramavishnuloka'') was king of the Khmer Empire from 1113 to 1150 and the builder of Angkor Wat , which he dedicated to Vishnu . During his reign, he reunited the Empire after years of unrest and expanded its borders to cover much of present-day Thailand as well as parts of Vietnam and Malaysia , although all three of his campaigns against the Dai Viet failed. He also turned on and in 1145 briefly conquered his erstwhile ally, the Kingdom of Champa , but died when fighting against them in a later campaign. He was succeeded by Dharanindravarman II .
