is a good staging point for journeys to Preah Khan and Koh Ker. For Prasat Preah Vihear,
Sra Em, 27km south of the temple, makes a better base.
Preah Vihear City, which was until recently known as Tbeng Meanchey, may soon gain
new relevance for travellers. A smooth highway running 130km east to Thala Boravit, just
a short ferry hop across the Mekong to Stung Treng, has already been built; a new bridge
to Stung Treng should be ready by 2015. When the bridge is up, public buses will be able
to seamlessly shuttle travellers from the temples of Angkor and Preah Vihear Province to
Stung Treng, Ratanakiri and Champasak Province in southern Laos.
