7. Koh Ker
There is no lack of beautiful temples in Cambodia. Koh Ker was the capital of the Angkor empire from 928 to 944 AD, but it is often overlooked for the world-famous Angkor Wat complex. Since a new road has been built, Koh Ker can easily be visited from Siem Reap with a tour. There are lots of temple ruins in Koh Ker, with Prasat Thom, Prasat Bram and Prasat Krahom being the most important ones.
8. Prasat Preah Vihear
Prasat Preah Vihear is another beautiful and underrated temple complex in Cambodia. Located on the steep hills of the Dangkrek mountains close to the Thai border, it offers truly breathtaking views. Prasat Preah Vihear was an important pilgrimage destination during the Angkor Age and took over 300 years to build. The result is an impressive temple complex with beautifully detailed stonework. Two staircases lead up to the temple, the Monumental Staircase and the 1,800-meter Eastern Staircase.
