Travel Guide
Often called “A Temple on the Edge of the Sky,” Preah Vihear is one of Cambodia’s most breathtaking yet lesser-known destinations. Situated in northern Cambodia, near the border with Thailand, this magnificent site is best known for the iconic Preah Vihear Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Sitting proudly atop the Dangrek Mountains, the temple rewards visitors with sweeping views across the vast plains of Cambodia, offering both a spiritual journey and a visual spectacle. Unlike the busier tourist hubs found in some Cambodia holiday packages, Preah Vihear offers a more remote, peaceful atmosphere, perfect for temple enthusiasts, off-the-beaten-path explorers, and history lovers. The vibe here is majestic, mysterious, and profoundly tranquil—ideal for travelers looking to escape the crowds and connect with Cambodia’s rich cultural roots. If you're planning a journey with a trusted Vietnam travel agency or browsing for authentic experiences, don’t miss adding Cambodia Preah Vihear to your itinerary.
The story of Preah Vihear Temple stretches back to the golden age of the Khmer Empire between the 9th and 12th centuries. Dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, the temple showcases the intricate artistry and religious devotion of its time. Uniquely, it is built along a north-south axis, directly following the edge of the cliff—unlike the more familiar east-west layout of Angkor Wat. In 2008, Preah Vihear gained recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, not only for its exceptional Khmer architecture but also for its extraordinary natural setting. Over the years, it has been at the heart of national pride and territorial disputes between Cambodia and Thailand, highlighting its deep cultural and historical significance. Today, thanks to specialized Preah Vihear Province tours, travelers can explore its ancient stairways, crumbling sanctuaries, and feel the spiritual aura that still lingers at this incredible site, standing over 500 meters above the Cambodian plains.

Sometimes, merely a name can lure you to a place, and Angkor Wat is such a place. There is nothing compared to Angkor in the whole Asia for the delicate architecture, mysterious construction as well as dramatical history of a nation that escaped from genocide. Stretching over some 400 km2 in forested area, Angkor Complex contains the magnificent remains of the different capitals of the Khmer Empire, from the 9th to the 15th century. They include the famous Temple Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and the Bayon Temple with its countless sculptural decorations. With at least three days strolling around the grand Angkor Wat, thick jungle traces at Ta Prohm or unbelievably huge stone smiles of Bayon, a visit to Cambodia can make you end up calling it ‘’the capital of great temples in Asia’’. The architectural, archaeological and historical values of Angkor will always make your visit unforgettable. Let's discover the prominent site of Angkor complex where you can dip yourself in the mysterious beauty of temples, statues, and carvings.
