Prasat Preah Vihear is an ancient Khmer Hindu temple located on the border between Cambodia and Thailand. The ownership of this temple has been disputed between the two countries, but it is currently under the actual jurisdiction of Cambodia's Preah Vihear Province. In 2008, the temple was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The history of Prasat Preah Vihear dates back to the 9th century, commissioned by the monarchs of the Khmer Empire and built between the mid-10th and early 12th centuries. Perched on a 550-meter-high cliff, it overlooks the entire Cambodian plain. Due to its remote location and challenging terrain, Prasat Preah Vihear is remarkably well-preserved. Its architectural style is similar to Angkor Wat. This ancient temple site spans 800 meters in length and 400 meters in width across the cliff face, with long staircases on all four sides. The temple has four levels with four courtyards, each level featuring gates and walls, reflecting the unique architectural style of the Angkor dynasty period. The World Heritage Committee noted that Prasat Preah Vihear has an excellent location, with its architecture fully integrated into the natural landscape and religious function, and the exquisite stone carvings within the temple are treasures of ancient civilization.

カンボジアにある世界遺産です。シャムリアップから日帰りでいけます。素晴らしい景観を眺めながら登っていくさいは大変疲れますが、貴重な経験なので行くことをおすすめします。

Lugar con extraordinarias vistas y lleno de historia. Camboya y Tailandia han estado a la gresca por su pertenencia desde que los franceses lo adjuntaron a su colonia por toda la cara. Un cocktail lleno de experiencias: Zona plagada de minas de la Khmer rouge, con búnkers listos para defenderse de los tailandeses y ruinas extraordinarias.\nSi se sube por las escaleras la entrada es GRATIS, eso sí, son unos 2.300 escalones, perfecto si tienes más pulmón que dinero.

씨엠립에서는 많이 먼 곳입니다.\n빨리가면 세시간 정도면 갈 수 있는곳입니다만..큰 맘먹지 않으면 부담스러운 곳이기도 하죠..\n투어버스로 이동하기에는 더욱더..\n만약 가길 원하신다면 차량렌트가 좋습니다..입장료와..산에오르는 짚차량 비용이 별도로 소요되지만..캄보디아의..산과 산아래 태국과의 국경도 좋은 경치입니다.\n태국과 국경분쟁이 종료되어 안전합니다..\n조금 긴 일정으로 캄을 방문하시는 분들이라면 추천해 드리고 싶습니다.
