Despite the news about the recent dispute between Thailand and Cambodia, we've decided to go to Preah Vihear on 8th May 2012 . A 3 hours drive from Siem Reap later, we were amazed by the beauty of the temple and the site. We spent the morning there from 8 to 11AM, enjoying alternative fog clouds and strong sun with... More

I recently achieved a lifetime milestone event thanks to a extraordinary Khmer tour guide named Narin, who enabled me to visit four exceptional Khmer temples well outside Siem Reap, the location of the spectacular Angkor Wat. Many Westerners do not realize the Khmer Empire built large, stone temples throughout a 77 sq. mile region over a period of six centuries.... More

I visited Siem Reap with my sister in April for 3 days. I have always wanted to visit Preah Vihear but was a little worried because of the ongoing conflict with Thailand. So I asked Narin (angkornarin@yahoo.com) to be our guide during our 3 day visit. He was knowledgeable and friendly. On our first day, we visited Preah Vihear. We... More

The bad thing about traveling solo is that you have no one to split the cost with you. Finding a transport to Preah Vihear Temple for a day trip that is reasonably priced for a solo traveler is like finding a needle in a haystack. Thankfully i manage to find San Park to drive me there at a very reasonable... More

Leaving Ubon Ratachani by car destined for Preah Vihear, the scenery was spectacular and the roads were clear on a beautiful Monday morning. Signage to the Phra Wiharn National Park was unusually good for Thailand. Stopping at the entrance of the National Park, there was only one other car at the gate, a Thai couple asking for directions, and after... More

Preah Vihear is located close to the border of Cambodia-Thailand in northern Cambodia. This place used to be a conflict zone between the two countries and not that long ago, a war erupted at this place. However, when I went there, I felt completely safe and the views are to die for! Yes, the military presence is there, but they... More

Very steep access road only for four wheel drive even on new road being constructed. Do not wander of the tracks or temple causeways due to the risk of finding a cluster bomb, however the view from the top of the hill is worth the risk as is the series of 5 temples as you walk up the temple site....

The guidebook seemed to suggest that getting here itself was an adventure - maybe that was true a couple of years ago, but not anymore. You can easily visit Prasat Preah Vihear as a day-trip from Siem Reap. We hired a car and left very early in morning so that we can be near the temple by first light. The... More

I went there few days ago with Narin (angkornarin@yahoo.com). I found Narin on Trip Advisor. I was a bit worried at the beginning because it happens so often that you go to a tour and you are disappointed. But this time it was perfect. When Narin ask me at the end of his tour what he could improve for the... More
