Sambor Prei Kuk Tour

Battambang Designer

“Sambor Prei Kuk Tour” Archaeologically, the site is extremely important, containing some of Cambodia’s oldest surviving buildings. But you don’t have to be an archaeology buff to appreciate the ethereal beauty of this tree-wrapped site. The most important temples in the area are found in Prasat Sambor, Prasat Tao, and Prasat Yeay Peau, which all have remarkably clear carvings on their temple walls and plenty of ethereal ambience provided by twisting tree trunks and coiling vines. You can access Sambor Prey Kuk from Kompong Thom.

Visit the Sambor Prei Kuk Temple complex on a private full-day tour from Siem Reap. The main temples of this Pre-Angkorian archaeological site was built in the 7th century and are older than those of Angkor Wat. As you explore the site with a private guide, take note of the temples covered in tree roots, making them popular photo subjects.

Koh Ker-Preah Vihea Trip

Battambang Designer

Koh Ker-Preah Vihea Trip

The temples of Angkor Wat may gain all the glory, but Prasat Preah Vihear wins the prize for the most dramatic location. Sitting atop the Dangrek Mountains, on an escarpment with dizzying views across the Cambodian floodplains, Prasat Preah Vihear is a monumental temple complex of intricately carved pavilions linked by long causeways, originally built to honor the god Shiva.

The amazing full-day private tour discovering the charming beauty of Cambodia gives you a great opportunity to pay a visit to many famous tourist attractions, including the Koh Ker-Preah Vihea Trip. You will definitely have unforgettable experiences while admiring these magnificent landscapes.

Amazing temple light, highly Please do not skip Preah Vihear Temple if you are visiting Siem Reap. The panorama view of Cambodia and Thailand border up there is just beautiful. The architecture of this temple is different from all the sites in Siem Reap. The space is wider and the layout is much easier to access.

What to Expect

Visit the beautiful temple of Preah Vihear, a famous UNESCO World Heritage Site near the Thai border in Cambodia. You will depart 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.

When we arrive at Preah Vihear, we need to change into a 4 wheel drive to drive up to the temple. This takes around 15 minutes. Preah Vihear was built during Angkorian times and is a Hindu temple. From the temple, you have a spectacular view of the surroundings.

The temple of Preah Vihear was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008. For a long time, there has been a dispute about whether the temple belongs to Thailand or Cambodia, but 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. Koh Ker used to be the capital of the Khmer empire and is an important historic site. You will visit the pyramid temple as well as a few smaller temples in the area.

During the tour, you are treated to a nice local lunch in a local restaurant.
