  The Khmer historical site of PREAH KHAN KAMPONG SVAY is one of the least visited temple ruins Cambodia. It is 104 Km from the nearby provincial town of Kampong Thom and will generally take approximately three hours to reach there. NOTE: during the rainy season the travel time may be longer due to potholes filled with water in the final 50 km stretch of dirt road. There is no public transport of any kind going out to this site so transportation must be with a hired four wheel drive vehicle or a motor cross bike. The price for trip to Preah Khan Khmer historical site in a hired four wheel drive vehicle = USD 100. NOTE: the best place to arrange for a vehicle hire is at the Arunras Hotel. The staff on the desk speak reasonable English and can put you in touch with a transport provider. NOTE: there is a laminated price chart at the Arunras Hotel giving the prices of all trips. These are standardised and not negotiable. I checked the price at three different hotels in kampong Thom, and they were all the same. The best time for a visitation to the PREAH KHAN historical site is in the morning. The standard weather pattern in the area is hot in the morning and raining in the afternoon. For those getting serious about photography, I would suggest departing Kampong Thom at 5.00 AM. This will put you on site at about 7.30 – 8.00 AM. There is a USD 5 entry fee for each person.

  Difficult to attain, but you can feel deeper this place.
