This tranquil site is popular for the Preah Vihear temple, standing in the vicinity of the borderline between Thailand and Cambodia.
Preah Vihear province has some of the worst infrastructures in the country. There are no proper major roads in existence. Going around this province is not that easy if you're used to proper roads and usual transportation possibilities, as there are only a few pick-ups or some money-hunting moto drivers to take you where you would like to go. However, the province has a lot to offer for those, who are interested in ancient temple structures and remote villages without touristy influence.
