Itinerary
Discover and explore the contentious Preah Vihear Temple complex. Preah Vihear is an ancient Hindu temple built during the period of the Khmer Empire, that is situated atop a 525-metre cliff in the Dângrêk Mountains. Preah Vihear is at the border with Thailand and has been the subject of more than one ownership dispute. Then after a brief stop at one of the restaurants for a traditional Cambodian curry, soups or stir-fries, continue to distant Koh Ker. Koh Ker is the modern name for an important city of the Khmer empire. In inscriptions the town is mentioned as Lingapura (city of lingams). The most impressive structure in the complex is Prasat Thom/Prang, a double sanctuary which follows a linear plan and not a concentric one like most of the temples of the Khmer kings. Unparalleled is the 36-metre high seven‑tiered pyramid, which most probably served as state temple. Then visit Beng Mealea, identical to Angkor Wat, but smaller in size.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Beng Mealea and Koh Ker today. The information and insights given by our guide Mr Sok Phally, were interesting and informative and he was ready and willing to answer any questions that we had. He and our driver (i didn't catch his name) were both so helpful and attentive, and we would definitely recommend this trip if you'd like to see more of Cambodia and gain knowledgeable insights into both the past and present.
Thanks you so much.

Sayoeun was an excellent tour guide! At each of the three temples he walked us through the history and construction of the sites. Throughout the day he also explained some of the agriculture practices and customs of the people in Cambodia making the long drives more interesting. Entrance to the parks is not included so make sure to buy the Koh Ker Pass and Angkor Wat pass online. The Preah Vihear pass we bought at the gate, maybe in the future it'll be online. Tips are encouraged at the end of the tour for the service of the driver and guide.
Thanks you so much.

Thanks you so much.
It was really nice experience The guide has the deep knowledge about the Khmer culture and history and of course for the temples itself Also the driver were so kinds that he provides me the water and refresher sheet every time I went back to the car. I could understand well about the history of Hindu through this tour. Although the price is bit expensive compared to hiring the driver only But worth paying if you have curious about the Khmer culture and history.
Thanks you so much for your excellent review and spending time with my company.
