Prasat Preah VihearPreah Vihear Temple

Preah Vihear temple was built on the range of Dangrek Mountain at Preah Vihear province. Recently, the temple was listed into World Heritage on 7th July 2008. The temple is the cause of argument between Thailand and Cambodia ; it has ended after the UNESCO has listed it into their property. Preah Vihear temple however has been judged by the international court in 1962 as a property of the sovereignty of Cambodia by Prime Minster Norodom Sihanouk.

There were three kings who built Prasat Pheah Vihear for dedicating to Siva, God of Hinduism. First king was Yasovarman I (889-910), the second, Suryavarman I (1001-1050), and then the last king was Suryavarman II (1113-1150) who built the famous temple of Angkor Wat . The temple was built on the top of a mountain; it is abrupt on Cambodian side and it easily climbs on the Thailand side. From the top of the temple you can get the best spectacular view of Cambodian site. It is 657 meters above the sea level and 547 meters from the ground level of Cambodia 's flat land.

For visiting this temple, visitors should contact local tour operator who knows the place well. Roads are under construction; it will be finished and opened by the end of 2008 for welcoming all worldwide visitors. It is best to visit the Preah Vihear temple at this time, because it is an excellent place for adventure and trekking. If you travel by land 4 X 4 vehicles are recommended, but visitors can reach there by rental helicopters. During the morning hours, visitors will find the weather cloud and will enjoy the fresh air.
