The mother of all mountain
temples, Prasat Preah Vihear stands majestically atop the Dangkrek
Mountains, forming a controversial border post between Cambodia and
Thailand. The foundation stones of the temple stretch to the edge of the
cliff as it falls away to the plains below, and the views across
northern Cambodia are incredible. The 300-year chronology of its
construction offers an insight into the metamorphosis of carving and
sculpture in the Angkorian period.
