- Preah Vihear Temple - Currently, visiting is not permitted due to ongoing conflicts between Cambodia and Thailand.
- Koh Ker Temple - The Koh Ker Group, situated in Preah Vihear province, briefly served as the capital of the Khmer Empire from 928 to 944 under King Jayavarman IV and his son Hasavaraman II. After the establishment of the Khmer Empire in the Angkor area (Roluos), Jayavarman IV relocated the capital nearly 100km northeast to Koh Ker in 928. Numerous temples were constructed during his reign until his successor moved the capital back to the Angkor area about twenty years later.
The Koh Ker site is dominated by Prasat Thom, a 30-meter-tall temple mountain that rises prominently above the plain and surrounding forest. Visitors are rewarded with spectacular views after an adventurous climb. Garuda figures, carved into the stone blocks, still guard the summit, though they are now partially obscured.
Throughout the Koh Ker site, there are many prasat or tower sanctuaries. Some still house an enormous linga on a yoni, providing space for several people. The outlet for the sanctified water, which flowed over the Linga, is visible on the exterior wall of one of these structures. In other instances, three prasat stand side by side, dedicated to Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu. Most are encircled by libraries and enclosures, and many originally featured moats. At that time, roofs were constructed from wood, but today only the beam holes remain in the stone structures.
- Beng Mealea - Beng Mealea Temple, meaning “lotus pond,” is located at the base of Kulen Mountain. Originally built as a Hindu temple, it also features carvings with Buddhist motifs. Constructed primarily from sandstone, it remains largely unrestored, with trees and dense brush flourishing among its towers and courtyards, and many stones lying in large heaps. Previously difficult to access, a newly constructed road to the Koh Ker temple complex now passes Beng Mealea, attracting more visitors.
Built in the 12th century, many scholars believe it served as a model for Angkor Wat. It is equally magnificent but remains largely enveloped by the jungle.
