A long day out for amazing ruins - Long drive but worth it. Beautiful temples and sights. Pleasant time with Mr Ra and Mr Sok. Note that most of the walking is under the sun, so bring adequate protection. Also, for Preah Vihear the admission ticket has to be paid in cash (USD 10), whereas at Koh Ker credit cards are accepted too (USD 15).

I highly recommend Preah Vihear! - It was a tour where my guide Conn was very nice and too much fun. They talked to me in Japanese, took a lot of pictures and explained a lot about the ruins. It was a bit expensive, but I really recommend it!!! I think it's more valuable than other sites! Preah Vihear Temple was interesting because the carvings were so fine and varied compared to Angkor Wat and so on. Koke Temple is pyramid-shaped and super-large, more powerful than other ruins! I was happiest that they took so many photos! The guide bought me a hat and scarf and I can’t get my head around it 🚰·̫🚰 I love it 🥹🥹🥹

Good small group tour to uncrowded temples. - Very good trip with guide Pip. He had a lot of knowledge to details around the temples. The trip itself included a lot of driving but that was clear from the beginning. The car was very comfortable. There was enough time to spend at the temples. I was in a very small group which made the visits very nice. It was quiter at the temples in general compared to the temples near Siem Reap. And the temples were also different in terms of their architecture which was interesting to see. If you are looking for a small group in uncrowded temples I can highly recommend this trip.

Fabulous Trip 🇰🇭🇺🇳 - Great thanks to my guide Pip, whose knowledge and passion brought the ancient stories of Preah Vihear to life. With every step, he connected the past to the present, revealing the temple's enduring spirit. His guidance turned the journey into a profound experience, where faith, nature, and history intertwined, leaving us in awe of Cambodia's timeless legacy. The majestic Preah Vihear Temple stands atop a cliff, like a bridge reaching towards the heavens, where faith and nature converge. Here, stone converses with the wind, narrating the eternal cycle of obliteration and rebirth. In the jungles of Koh Ker, vines, like unresolved affections, entwine around the ruins. History, buried by the earth, quietly revives amidst the leaves. Standing on this land, solemnity and awe intertwine, creating an illusion, yet the true power lies within the silent stones, trees, and wind. Though wordless, they deeply understand the essence of existence. Everything here resembles a silent ceremony, reminding us that civilizations may fade, but the dialogue between faith and nature never ceases. Glory will eventually turn to ashes, and those ashes, heavier than anything else, tremble the heart, leaving one speechless.

Wonderful day - Wonderful day of visit with our guide Kim, who gives lots of details about history and religion, speaks very well English and some French, very attentive and who took pictures of us on the sites then sent them to us by courier. Thanks also to our driver Phyrom for his good behavior We were lucky enough to be only 2 in the van and there are very few people in these remote temples.

A great tour, highly recommended, certainly compensates. - Very interesting visit with Ra, a great guide, who helped with his information to improve the experience. At first I hesitated to be away and involve a lot of travel time, but it compensates more than enough. They are certainly two of the best temples in the area and that near Angkor is saying a lot.

Preah Vihear day trip - We did a day tour to Preah Vihear and Ko Ker with Chenda. It was a long drive. Chenda gave us just the right amount of information about the temples and the history of the area. We were in a small group so we all had a chance to ask questions. Chenda is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humour. The temples had almost no visitors besides some local groups.

a well-arranged trip - It was a pleasant journey, the route was well arranged and the guide Lok introduced a lot of Cambodian history along the way, thank you very much. Iced water is a smooth drink and lunch is served near Gongkai at noon.
