Overview

Mobile ticket

The unique for Sambor Prei Kuk temple is its pre-Angkorian architecture, particularly the use of octagonal temples and "flying palace" carvings, which set a precedent for later Khmer styles. As a former capital of the Chenla Empire during 6th to 7th century, the site's ruins are embraced by nature, creating a distinct blend of ancient architecture and the jungle, a contrast to the larger, more formal structures of Angkor. The site features numerous smaller temples built of brick and laterite, dedicated to Hindu deities, with intricate decorations that provide insight into early Cambodian history and arts.

Sambor Prei Kuk

PRASAT SAMBOR PREI KUK (Temples Group) is a very old, and rarely visited, temple located a four hour drive from Siem Reap. The nearby Kampong Thom City is an excellent place to spend the night if you want to enjoy a leisurely trip. The drive itself is beautiful, a journey along the lush scenery of the Prey Preas River. Villagers in this area specialize in meals that include crickets, spiders, and frogs as well as sticky rice. The Sambo Prei Kuk temples were the second capital of the Khmer Empire and were built in the 7th Century by King Isanvarman I.

Fantastic Day at Sambor Preikuk with Mr Kosorl

A fun way to see the temples of Sombor Preikuk is by bicycle. If you enjoy walking, that's easy too. If you're not so agile, a driver with moto can be arranged to take you around. The trails are well made, well signed and generally not crowded. The whole area is very shady with beautiful trees. Occasionally you might see well behaved monkeys. This complex was built 6-7th century so much older, smaller and quite different to what you see at Angkor Wat. I can highly recommend a day trip to Sambor Preikuk with Mr Kosorl and Easy Angkor Trip. It is a long day with many sights of Khmer life along the way.

Fantastic experience! My guide had us leave early to beat the traffic. It felt like I had most of the temples to myself. I really enjoyed the day in the jungle with the wildlife and beautiful temples and history. The guide was very supportive of the local community and we stopped in a village to see flax rice being made. An absolutely wonderful day.
