Bestowed by UNESCO with coveted World Heritage status in 2008, the Temple of Preah Vihear has enough ancient and modern history behind it for a Netflix original feature. It traces its origin to a chronologically extensive building process that spanned seven kings and almost three centuries, finished sometime in the mid-1100’s. More recently, the area has been the focus of cross-border strife between Cambodia and Thailand; the latter seized the temple in 1959 and the International Court of Justice awarding sovereignty back to the former in 1962. Bickering over the area has flared again in 2008 and 2011, with Cambodia currently remaining in control. I visited with a tour guide during my first week in the country.
The trip from Siem Reap is part of the experience, as I passed through numerous small villages in the province exposing me to countryside life. After a two-hour journey (and detour to visit some Khmer Rouge sites), we stopped at the visitor’s center at the base of the temple and purchased our tickets. Being a solo-tourist, I was told the journey to the top of the hill would be completed by moped (!), so I rode behind a local driver on the way up. We continued on foot and first visited the border station, meeting some local police and hearing the history behind the boundary conflicts. We then proceeded to visit the temple proper and started by ascending the Monumental Stairway. We milled around for almost two hours, appreciating the approach of the causeways, details of the East and West Galleries, numerous bas reliefs, and the all-encompassing views across the countryside. The trip back down to the visitor’s center was much less eventful, and that back to Siem Reap notable for a stop at the Koh Keh temple complex (see separate review).
In summary, this was an unforgettable experience and for several reasons was the highlight of my trip to Cambodia. First, the journey from Siem Reap was itself notable, for the only time exposing me to the remote countryside. Second, the dynamic between ancient history and current events was fascinating and energizing; imagine Angkor Wat with active duty military troops walking around with assault rifles. Third, to say the setting was majestic is a bit of an understatement with almost complete solitude adding to the experience; the closet I have to compare it to is the third day of the Inca Trail before entering Machu Picchu.
An exceptional opportunity and highly recommended for those with the means and time.

First of all the 1447 or so steps up are closed for the foreseeable future. This was a shame as this was one of the main attractions for me. I was told by a couple of different people that during COVID with no tourist traffic sections were destroyed by termites. I don't know how true that is but I tried to go down the steps and after 100 or do they just stopped with no obvious route to continue. So the only way up/down is via a motorbike (out lorry if you're a large group) I think it was 10,000rei one way.
The temple themselves are being restored and are in a good bit not great state (no roofs but most weeks still standing) As a non historian they were ok. However for me the setting was amazing. First of all there are still the bunkers from the fairly recent skirmish with Thailand which resulted in the deaths of a dozen or so soldiers and the fact that the steep road crosses into Thailand and back. But more than that are the great views from the cliff top after the 5th temple. A single peace of rope has a sign saying do not cross and this seems to me a good rule to follow as about a metre the other side is a 700m drop! (2000')
You can visit a small shrine in the cliff face where only a wall made of sand bags protects you from certain death!

Unique temple complex situated on a hill top with sweeping views of Thailand and Cambodia. Unlike other temples I visited in Cambodia there are long walk ways between the doorways, enhancing the expansive feel of the temple. In jarring contrast are the sand bag 'pill boxes' with slits aimed toward Thailand. Not long ago the temple site was hotly contested between Thai and Cambodian troops
You must rent a pickup truck for $10 for the steep drive to the complex, self driving is not allowed.
Most domestic visitors stay in nearby guest houses because of Preah Vihear's remoteness, I was with a Cambodian friend and stayed at guest house with basic accommodations for $30 a night.
Cellphone reception is spotty if you're depending on web-based maps for guidance.

Superbe temple à voir absolument si vous avez une grosse journée devant vous à partir de Siem Reap.
Jeunes enfants bienvenus.
Le site fait 800m de long. Comptez 3h a partir de l’entrée incluant le transfert en 4x4. (Recommandé).
Le panorama est aussi splendide

WOW, this place was awesome. Unbelievable view and road trip. If you ever come here you are lucky because it is right like at a border of Thailand and Cambodia. It was said that any conflict could occur anything but at the time nothing luckily happened.
There are soldiers who lives there with their families so I helped out by donating stuff with my family.
If you were to go here to the temple, you would have to rent someone who lives around there. I believe that there is like the business area for it somewhere in the bottom of the mountain.
The road trip was very steep but it was adventurous road trip.
They also sell stuff up the mountain as well. I would buy some stuff up there because just to help out the people who live up the mountain.
Excellent tour!
FYI: I went here during 2015 but, thetripadvisor, didn't let me select the correct date.

A massive temple complex built on the crest of a mountain.
This place must have been awe inspiring in its heyday.
It is certainly testament to the huge over-inflated EGOs that existed at the time.
This place is still a point of contention between THAILAND AND CAMBODIA.
You can see the Thailand military on the other mountain across the valley. You will also see the military bunkers and installations on this mountain.
You cannot fly your drone there as they are afraid that THAILAND will see it as a spying action.
a word of warning: taking the mountain road up is easy and nice.
YOU WILL GET TO A POINT WHERE THE INCLINE BECOMES 45 degrees PLUS.
If you don't have a manual bike you might not make it up there.
I hope you don't go halfway and then have to stop as it is so steep you might fall if you have to stop.
Then i am not even talking about coming back down --- steep enough -- add rain to it and slippery slopes you will have.
Some locals will offer to take you up there on the back of their bikes for 1USD -- well, i saw a guy go up alone and his bike barely made it up!

Kenn, I read your review. I am travelling to Siem Reap in November and want to visit Preah Vihear. How much does it cost for the driver for the day? How long did you spend at the site of the temples? Any other advise?
Thank you,

Hi Dave
I spent a half day in the temples.The driver should charge around 150 USD for a private car. The more you bargain the better it gets. It is a worth visiting site which is not crowded mostly and the natural form of the monuments is preserved properly. I would suggest leaving Siem Reap early morning and return back by late afternoon. I think the total trip should cost you around 200 USD for two persons as there is entry ticket for foreigners and you may need to hire a pickup from the ticket counter to hike up the hill which is also 25 USD.
Enjoy ur trip.

Hi there
I wondered if you could tell me how much the tour cost to Preah Vihear Temple and actually how long the drive is as there are some who say just over 2 hours, and others 4 hours o/w. We are looking at going early November and wanted a recommendation of guide/operator and cost.
Thanks so much
Regards

hi,
I hired a private driver, which cost me USD150 for a return trip from Siem Reap hotel to Preah Vihear, Beng Melea, and Koh Ker.
I travelled from Siem Reap to Preah Vihear first, which took 3.5 hours. The entry fee to Preah Vihear is USD10 per person. Between the ticketing office and the temple, there is local transport (own driver and car is NOT an option): a jeep - up to 6 people - for USD25, or USD5 pillion per person on a motorcycle. I chose the former.
Hope this helps.

Bonjour, Je pars bientôt au Cambodge. Et j'aimerais beaucoup visiter le temple de Preah Vihear.
Je voulais vos conseils. Comment visiter ce temple? Quels moyens de transport utiliser? Quel est le temps de trajet? Peut on faire la visite sur la journée? Sinon où se loger?
Quel est le moyen le moins coûteux? Connaissez vous des organismes ou des guides faisant la visite de ce temple? Merci.

Sorry for late reply, maybe someone else will find it useful. I will describe our experience - we stayed overnight at the Heng Sokchamrouen Guesthouse (very recommended!) in Sra Aem. We arrived to Sra Aem from Phnom Penh by GST express bus (no website, tickets bought in their office in Phnom Penh). We set off to Preah Vihesr Temple early in the morning at 7AM. Two local guys gave us lift on their motorbikes. We got the tickets ($10 per person) and decided to get to the temple by motobike ($5 per person). We spend there around two hours, got back to Sra Aem the same way we went from there - bike down the hill (the drivers waited for us) then back with two guys who gave us a lift. Our hotel's owner arranged a shared taxi for us to get to Siem Reap - $30 per two people, more than 3 hours drive. This place may be a bit difficult to reach but it is so worth it. Hope that helps.

How hard is the walking route up the mountain to the temple?
patisson
Cambridge, MA492 bidrag
I disagree! It is a very tough walk up, but a great walk down. I think the previous person mistakenly made reference to the road that the traffic goes up -- the walking route involves an incredibly lengthy staircase with astonishing views. I'd recommend going up by vehicle and then going down the stairs, but it is probably a good idea to take a guide with you as there are mined areas on either side.

Hello, we would like to visit the temple on our way from Stung Treng to Siem Reap. We are planning to stop overnight in Preah Vihear City and travel to the temple in the morning. How far is it and what would be the best way? I am guessing there is no public transport? Any advice greatly appreciated.

Well the city of Preah Vihear is actually quite far from the temple with the same name. The town closest to the Preah Vihear Temple, where you can find a place to stay is Sra'aem.

Where are you going from? If you are going from Siem Reap, then a return trip should cost about $100 in a private car. I'd say this is the easiest and fastest way.
