• Koh Ker Temple - Koh Ker: The Hidden Gem of Cambodia’s Ancient Temples

When travelers think of Cambodia, Angkor Wat often comes to mind. However, deep within the jungle, about 120 kilometers northeast of Siem Reap, lies Koh Ker – an ancient temple complex that rivals Angkor’s grandeur, offering a unique experience for those venturing off the beaten path.

The Historical Significance of Koh Ker
Koh Ker was the capital of the Khmer Empire for a short period in the early 10th century under King Jayavarman IV. From 928 to 944 AD, Koh Ker thrived, with over 180 temples built across the expansive complex.

Due to its remote location, Koh Ker remained relatively inaccessible until recently, preserving its raw, untouched atmosphere. For those who visit,

• Kompong Khleang - The Most Attractive Features of Kompong Khleang

1. Stilted Houses and Floating Villages
   One of the most remarkable features of Kompong Khleang is the village’s construction on high stilts, sometimes reaching 10 meters. These towering wooden houses are designed to endure the dramatic seasonal changes in Tonle Sap Lake’s water levels. During the dry season, visitors can see the full height of these stilted homes, creating a surreal landscape where houses seem to float in the sky.

In the wet season, as the Tonle Sap swells, the water rises, and the village appears to float on the lake. Boats become the primary mode of transportation, and the previously dry streets turn into waterways. This seasonal transformation is one of Kompong Khleang’s most captivating and intriguing aspects.

2. Authentic Local Life
   Unlike some of the more tourist-heavy floating villages, Kompong Khleang remains relatively untouched by mass tourism.
