Tour 7: Long Distance Trip To Preah Vihear Temple

This was a long trip three hours drive from Siem Reap just to get to the area at the foot of the site which is right on the border with Thailand. From the entry point you can see the border. The temple itself is spectacular and stretches out up the back of the hill to the top and is a fairly steady walk with amazing views once you get to the top.

Do not skip Preah Vihear temple if you are visiting Siem Reap. A panorama view of Cambodia and Thai border up there is just beautiful, the architecture of this temple is different from all the site in Siem Reap, the space is wider and layout is much easier to access.
