Preah Vihear Temple
Located atop the Dangrek Mountain range along the Cambodia – Thailand border, Preah Vihear Temple is a hidden treasure among places to visit in Cambodia. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this ancient temple offers both stunning views and rich historical significance for tourists. The standout location makes Preah Vihear a perfect stop for those who travel between Cambodia and Thailand.
A Preah Vihear tour will offer you an experience through history, where you can admire the intricate carvings and ancient stone works from the 11th century. Perched atop a mountain, the temple spans an impressive 800 meters from base to peak, honoring the Hindu god Shiva – both the destroyer and creator in Hindu mythology – as well as the mountain deities Sikharesvara and Bhadresvara. The breathtaking mountain air and sweeping views only add to the awe-inspiring experience of exploring this sacred site. Nowadays, the main hall has been switched into a Buddhist worship site. Visiting this corner, you will meet the monks that are always on duty to bless visitors and sincere Buddhists.
Preah Vihear Temple in Cambodia does not have poetic corners like Ta Phrohm nor endless corridors like Angkor Wat… but it always brings new things about culture and history in the journey of discovery tourists. With Absolute Asia Tours’s help, we ensure that your Cambodia tour includes this hidden treasure and all the historical charms it offers!
