Getting There & Away
Koh Ker is 127km northeast of Siem Reap (2½ hours by car) and 72km west of Tbeng
Meanchey (two hours). The toll road from Dam Dek, paved only as far as the Preah Vi-
hear Province line, passes by Beng Mealea, 61km southwest of Koh Ker; one-day excur-
sions from Siem Reap often visit both temple complexes. Admission fees are collected at
the toll barrier near Beng Mealea if travelling from Siem Reap; make sure you get a prop-
er printed receipt.
From Siem Reap, hiring a private car for a day trip to Koh Ker costs about US$80.
There's no public transport to Koh Ker, although a few pick-ups (10,000r) link Srayong,
10km south of Prasat Krahom, with Siem Reap. It might also be possible to take one of
the share taxis that link Siem Reap with Tbeng Meanchey and get off at Srayong.
