Sambor Preikuk
Overview
Hidden within the lush forests of central Cambodia, Sambor Prei Kuk is one of the country’s oldest and most important archaeological sites. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Sambor Prei Kuk was once the capital of the Chenla Kingdom in the 7th century, long before the rise of Angkor. The temple complex is renowned for its unique pre-Angkorian brick towers, peaceful jungle setting, and intricate carvings that reflect the early development of Khmer architecture and art. Walking through the quiet forest paths, visitors can discover dozens of ancient temples surrounded by towering trees and rich history, making Sambor Prei Kuk a fascinating destination for culture and history lovers seeking an authentic Cambodian experience. We take around 4 hours by car.

- The official currency in Cambodia is the Cambodian Riel (KHR), however USD$ are used everywhere in the country and most of the prices are set in USD. We advise you to bring US$ and remember to bring new and clean bank notes as the old or torn notes will not be accepted at most places. ATMs are almost everywhere in the city also and making it easy to withdraw cash in USD. The exchange rate is usually roughly KHR4000 to US$1, so if you give US$2 for something which costs KHR6000, you will usually receive back KHR2000.
