Prasat Preah Vihear

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.

Viaje allí hace ya 4 años en una época de tensión entre Camboya y Tailandia, la experiencia fue maravillosa y es un lujo poder también salir de las zonas más turísticas

태국과 캄보디아 국경, 높은 산에 위치한 유적지다. 매표소에서 유적지까지 가파른 경사가 인상적이다.

가파른 산길을 오토바이로 올라는데.\n매우가파라서위험했슴. 오래된사원의 옛모습이 무너져 있는곳이 많지만 옛날 사람들의 종교성을 생각해볼수있는 좋은곳입니다.
