Preah Vihear is a large province in Cambodia's northwestern region. The capital is Phnom Tbeng Meanchey. The province is named after the Prasat Preah Vihear temple, which is unquestionably the region's hotspot. Much of the province is inaccessible and heavily wooded.

Unfortunately, massive logging enterprises degrade the natural landscape by removing vast swaths of pure tropical hardwoods. It is also one of the Kingdom of Cambodia's least inhabited provinces. This peaceful location is well-known for the Preah Vihear temple, which stands near the Thai-Cambodian border.

Preah Vihear, Cambodia's lesser-known UNESCO monument, is definitely worth venturing off the main path to explore. This beautiful temple complex, located on the Thai border, attracts fewer visitors and provides a more authentic taste of the Khmer monarchy. From its peak, visitors may enjoy breathtaking vistas.

Whatever the case may be, the region has a lot to offer people who are interested in old temple complexes and distant settlements free of tourist traps. Three of the most remarkable Angkorian legacies may be found at Preah Vihear: the mountain temple of Prasat Preah Vihear, the 10th-century city of Koh Ker, and the gigantic Preak Khan.
