		Preah Vihear Temple: The Soul of Khmer The Preah Vihear Temple is located slightly east of the midsection of the Dangrek Mountains. It is perched on the edge of a giant cliff, about 625m above sea level in the northern part of the Preah Vihear Province, close to the Thai border. In the 9th century, King Yasovarman I (889 - 900 AD) began work on the original Preah Vihear Temple. It was then a small sanctuary dedicated to Siva as Sikharesvara, "Lord of Summit." Spiritual development,
increasing political power, and economic growth, which were factors that inspired the Khmer Kings, were reflected in the architectural style of the temple. It took more than 300 years to complete the various structures that merged into a homogeneous recreation of the Hindu Universe as a magical home of the gods. This naturally changed the original small sanctuary into one of the greatest Khmer temples of all times. This ranking was achieved as a result of the finest carvings that depicted the highest standards of unique Khmer architecture. It can be reached by road from Thailand.
