- Koh Ker Temple - PRASAT KOH KER (Group of temples) is located in Preah Vihear province. This temple resembles a pyramid with seven ascending levels reaching towards the sky. The panoramic view from the top is breathtaking and perfect for photography. The group also includes smaller temples such as Prasat Krachap, Prasat Neang Kmao, Prasat Ling, Moat, Prasat Bram, and Prasat Chen. Many of these temples are enveloped by jungle, as the area was abandoned and only recently rediscovered.
- Preah Khan Kompong Svay - The archaeological complex of Preah Khan of Kampong Svay, also known as Prasat Bakan or Bakan Svay Rolay, is situated 100 km east of Angkor in Preah Vihear province, Cambodia. It is the largest single religious complex constructed during the Angkorian Era, with an exterior enclosure spanning over 22 km square. Despite its remote location making it less frequented, Preah Khan Kompong Svay is a group of temples featuring the largest standing Buddha statue.
- Koh Ker Temple - Prasat Pram is a temple complex in Koh Ker, Cambodia, renowned for its five brick and laterite towers and the dramatic tree roots that have enveloped two of the structures. The name “Pram” means “five,” referring to the five temples on a shared terrace. It is a favored spot for photography due to the striking image of roots intertwined with ancient architecture, especially the northeastern tower.
- Koh Ker Temple - Prasat Neang Khmau, also known as the “Lady in Black” temple, is an ancient Khmer temple complex located in either Takeo province or Preah Vihear province (Koh Ker). The name refers to the dark hue of its weathered stones, possibly due to oxidation or historical fire damage. The Takeo version comprises two deteriorated brick towers from the 10th century, dedicated to the god Shiva.
- Koh Ker Temple - Prasat Chrap is a 10th-century Khmer temple complex in Koh Ker, Cambodia, distinguished by three large, partially ruined laterite towers aligned in a row within a laterite enclosure wall. It also includes two smaller brick structures, possibly libraries or earlier shrines, situated opposite the main towers.
- Koh Ker Temple - Prasat Banteay Pichean is a seldom-visited ancient temple within the Koh Ker temple complex in Preah Vihear Province, Cambodia. It dates back to the 10th century, during the reign of King Jayavarman IV.
- Koh Ker Temple - Prasat Linga is a temple that houses a massive linga, a symbolic pillar representing the Hindu god Shiva. These temples, often found at sites like Koh Ker, feature a large, monolithic stone linga (often 2 meters high) on a yoni pedestal (the female symbol). Many of these temples, likely unfinished or missing perishable roofs, were designed so that rainwater could flow over the linga, collecting in a ceremonial tank below.

Koh Ker stands out for its pyramid-style central temple, Prasat Thom, which is distinct from other Cambodian temples, and for being a rare, short-lived capital of the Khmer Empire, located away from Angkor. During its time as the capital, its architecture featured large-scale construction, and it was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site in September 2023. The site offers a more secluded and natural experience, surrounded by dense jungle.
Architectural and Historical Uniqueness
Prasat Thom Pyramid: The seven-tiered, 30-meter-high pyramid of Prasat Thom is its most distinctive feature. This design is unique compared to the more common mountain-style temples in the region.
Preah Khan Kampong Svay is notable for its vast size, unique art motifs such as the three-headed elephants and Garuda, its role as a major industrial center, and its remote location, which has preserved a “jungle temple” atmosphere with fewer tourists.
