Highlights
  • Preah Vihear Temple - Starting the tour early, our guide will meet and pick you up in the lobby at 5:00am at your accommodation (Hotel or Guest House) as you can pack breakfast along with you or you can eat breakfast at any good restaurant along the way & lunch the same also as we eat along the way.

Peah Vihear Temple is a Khmer temple situated atop a 525-metre (1,722 ft) cliff in the Dangrek Mountains, in the Preah Vihear province of northern Cambodia and on the border of Kantharalak district (amphoe) in Sisaket province of eastern Thailand. In 1962, following a lengthy dispute between Thailand and Cambodia over ownership, a majority of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague awarded the temple to Cambodia.

Affording a view for many kilometers across a plain, Prasat Preah Vihear has the most spectacular setting of all the temples built during the six-centuries-long Khmer Empire. As a key edifice of the empire’s spiritual life, it was supported and modified by successive kings and so bears elements of several architectural styles. Preah Vihear is unusual among Khmer temples in being constructed along a long north-south axis, rather than having the conventional rectangular plan with orientation toward the east. The temple gives its name to Cambodia’s Preah Vihear province, in which it is now located, as well as the Khao Phra Wihan National Park which borders it in Thailand’s Sisaket province and through which the temple is most easily accessible. On July 7, 2008, Preah Vihear was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Additional Information

Join us on this exceptional journey as we depart from Siem Reap and head towards the Preah Vihear temple, located in the Preah Vihear province. This temple, perched on a 525-meter cliff along the Cambodia-Thailand border, provides a spectacular view of the surrounding forests and villages.

After our visit to the Preah Vihear temple, we will make our way to the temple group at Koh Ker. The renowned temple of Prasat Thom, boasting a 30-meter pyramid, looms majestically over the plain and nearby forest.

Our last stop is Beng Mealea, also known as the Lotus Pond. The structural design is akin to that of Angkor Wat, leading many to believe the two temples are related. Beng Mealea remains largely untouched, with towering trees and dense vegetation engulfing the temple.

Upon the tour’s conclusion, we will return you to your lodgings or to any other preferred location in the town of Siem Reap.

A Grand Day Out - First of all, don't make the same mistake I did. Just because Angkor Wat takes credit cards, doesn't mean that Preah Vihear or Koh Ker do. Cash is required! Thankfully my guide was able to help me get that situation sorted, otherwise it would have been a terrible day. As it was, the temples were amazing and our guide, Saruon Pal, was knowledgeable and engaging and helped make it one of the most memorable days of our trip.

Temple on Cambodia-Thai border that not so long ago was a reason for armed conflict; Mayan-like temple - all in 1 day! - Amazing day visiting Preah Vihear - a temple on a Cambodia-Thailand border, inscribed onto UNESCO World Heritage List. Plus two other temples located at a distance from Angkor area. Bun Hak is a great guide. We learnt from him a lot on Cambodian ancient and recent history, contemporary politics and culture. He also showed us a great number of hidden treasures in the temples that we visited- we wouldn’t be able to find them without him. The trip truly exceeded our expectations. Ancient and very recent history (Preah Vihear); Mayan-like pyramid (Koh Ker) and one of the most beautiful and climatic temples in the jungle (Beng Mealea). It all of that just in one day. Don’t just sit in Siem Reap and it’s vicinity. Go to the neighbouring provinces and discover the beauty of Cambodia beyond Angkor.

Amazing temple and great tour guide and driver - We are a Japanese/Italian couple on their honeymoon. The three temples we visited were all stunning, I really couldn’t say which one I liked the most. Preah Vihear is definitely worth waking up early and the long drive to the border with Thailand for the magnificent scenery. Our driver and tour guide, BunHak, were really kind and very knowledgeable about the history and temples of Cambodia. He was happy to answer all our questions and show us the best places to take pictures. Thank you very much, I hope to meet you again someday!

Excellent! Must Go - I’m very glad I chose this tour. If you have one day, I strongly recommend this tour, get out the dusty, noisy city centre and enjoy fresh air and spectacular view in silence from top of the mountain, where you also see Thai border. Temples you see in this tour are very different from what you can see near Angkor Wat area. On the way to Preah Vihear, I saw amazing sunrise from the car. The guide Sok Chea and the driver were really nice and looked after me very well. Guide is very knowledgeable and made the trip very meaningful. Sok Chea speaks good English and is very professional. He also took many good pictures for me. The food they ordered in lunch was also good. Make sure you wear closed walking/sports shoes (not sandal) as you walk in mountain (it’s easy walk) This tour is worth for the price.

Amazing experience! - This tour was one of the highlights in our trip, and I strongly recommend it if you don't mind the early start. Visits to those temples were a completely different experience than those in the Angkor main area, as they were less crowed. Both our guide and driver were excellent. Mr Sok Chea, the tour guide, was very knowledged, friendly and open with information, not only about history and the temples, but also about customs and daily live of present Cambodia. Car was very comfortable and our driver make sure to drive it safely. We were really happy to have made the decision of taking this tour.
