Sri Sa Ket Province

Today we visit Preah Vihear Sanctuary, one of the topics recently been written in the newspapers. And I only hope that whoever is in the authority will do whatever is best for the country instead of their own or their friends.



Prasat Khao Phra Wihan or the Preah Vihear Sanctuary is a grand historical site and the centre of a Khmer community on the highlands of Cambodia. The site was built during the 16th-17th Buddhist century and is more than 600 metres above level ground.

There are four parts, all on a different level. Each is approached along a pathway with steep steps at the end leading up to the temple.



Preah Vihear stands on the mountain which is part of the Phanom Dong Rek Range that lies between the lower Khmer Plain and the Korat Pateau. Though physically in Cambodia (ruled by the World Court in 1962), the sanctuary is easier to reach from the Thai side. The temple’s surroundings located in Thai territory.



Look at Lub's poster.

Next we stop at Namtok Huai Chan which is is 24 kilometres from the district office on the Kanthrom-Ban Samrong Kiat road. The fall drops down several rock levels and has water the year round.



Mer’s house. There are many nicely decorated corners.

That would be all for my lower Isan trip (there are still some other lower Isan provinces that can’t be included into this short trip). Although, we do have a lot activities for these 3 days, I think we all gain weights from the big and delicious food we have. Thank to our kind and lovely hosts. We have a very good weekend.
