Sambor Prei Kuk - Prasat Sambor (Kampong Thom, Cambodia)

Kampong Thom is a place with quite a few precious ancient relics. The Prasat Sambor is an area which contains relics dated back to the 5th, 6th centuries. The place is really impressive, it is a pity that this ancient site had been destroyed by the war.


This temple had a long history, currently, its relics are covered by an old, strong tree.


It is not obvious in the picture, but it's actually a crater created by a bomb during a war.



It will be good to engage a local guide to learn more about the history of the place because there wasn't any explanatory boards.

P.S: The guide above is Mr. Cheng Chenda, he provides tour to many historical sites. He can be contacted by (855) 17 282 749


Hmm... This is not an autumn scene, the leaves turned brown because of the dirt from the road.


This is the only information board I saw at the entrance.






This is the 'Holy Pond' where people used the water to wash off their sins.
