We leave Siem Reap after breakfast and travel east and then south towards Kampong Thom on national road number 6. Arriving as a local guide is waiting for you and ready to show you the cluster of pre- Cambodia’s most impressive Angkorian temple, Sambor Prei Kuk encompasses around two hundred brick temples scattered throughout the forest located in this province, including some of the oldest in the country. The Sambor Prei Kuk temples were the second capital of the Khmer Empire and built in the 7th century by King Isanvarman I when he succeeded in uniting the territories of Chenla Kork and the Khmer water territory of Chenla Toek. Sambor Prei Kuk was the capital of the Khmer Empire for many centuries. We then explore the major temples here, including Prasat Tao with its elaborately headdressed lions and Prasat Sambor, with its ruined shrines.
On the way back to Siem Reap, we stop at Kampong Kdei to see one of Angkor’s ancient bridges which were built to span rivers. Spean Praptos or Kampong Kdei bridge has over 20 arches and is a spectacular sight, reinforcing the impression that the Khmers were like the Romans of Southeast Asia. We continue to Siem Reap and arrive at the town after 1 hour.
