I just came back from Cambodia last week and I visited Preah Vihear Temple and I found the temple is so beautiful; the temple is located on the beauty natural mountain. It’s hard to believe that the Khmer can bring up so many stones and built such a stunning temple on top of the mountain. The access road from Thailand to visit the Khmer temple in Cambodia still remains closed. To say that there is only one easy access road from Thailand to visit Preah Vihear Temple in Cambodia is totally wrong.

There are three access roads from Cambodia side. One was built by HM King Norodom Sihanouk when the King went to pay his respect to his Khmer ancestors who built the temple after the ICJ granted Preah Vihear belonging to Cambodia. Second one was built by the KR during war. Third one was built by Governor Chea Sophearath.

I took King Sihanouk road because I liked to see the natural beauty of the mountain on the way up to see the beauty temple on the top.

The original access road of the temple is by the Thailand side, because when the Khmer

Kings built Preah Vihear Temple; Thailand wasn’t there in that time. The Khmer Kings ruled SEA when Thai people still living in Nanchao, China.

Thailand sent Thai troops to invade Preah Vihear Temple and launched its rocket damaging the Giant Naga Statue at Preah Vihear Temple. Thailand never built the stone temple so Thailand can’t understand the value of the Khmer temple. I hope Thailand one day can understand the value of the Khmer temple and stop its aggression and try to live in harmony with Cambodia and let the UNESCO taking care of the Khmer temple so many people around the world can come to visit the beauty of the world heritage in Cambodia by passing from the Cambodia side or passing from the Thailand side.
