What to Expect

Visiting the beautiful temple of Preah Vihear, a famous UNESCO World Heritage Site near the Thai border in Cambodia. You will leave in the morning from Siem Reap. and drive to Preah Vihear by private air-conditioned car with an English-speaking driver. But we will also see Ta Mouk Man Home (Khmer Rouge) at the Angloung Veng Village. After that, we will continue to Preah Vihear Temple.

The temple of Preah Vihear was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008. There has been a long-standing dispute about whether the temple belongs to Thailand or Cambodia. Nonetheless, in 1962, the International Court ruled that it was part of Cambodia. In 2008, the dispute revived but the general agreement is still that Preah Vihear belongs to Cambodia.

After visiting the very interesting site of Preah Vihear, we drive to Koh Ker, the pyramid temple. It is a temple, unlike any other temple you will see in Cambodia.
