>>Your journey begins in the early morning as you depart from Siem Reap, a city renowned for the magnificent Angkor Wat temple complex. To make the most of your trip, it’s best to hire a private car or van with an experienced driver. This allows for a comfortable and flexible travel experience.

>>As you travel towards Kampong Thom, plan a stop at Sambor Prei Kuk, one of Cambodia’s most significant pre-Angkorian archaeological sites. Sambor Prei Kuk is a fascinating temple complex, with ruins dating back to the 7th century. Wander through the forested area and explore the ancient temples, each with its unique architectural style and historical significance. This UNESCO World Heritage site offers a tranquil and less crowded experience compared to the temples of Angkor.

​​​​ >>After your exploration of Sambor Prei Kuk, continue your journey to Kampong Thom, arriving around midday. Head to a local restaurant to enjoy a traditional Cambodian lunch, sampling dishes such as fish amok or beef lok lak.

>>Spend the afternoon exploring the town of Kampong Thom. Visit the central market to experience the local way of life and perhaps pick up some souvenirs. Another notable site is Phnom Sontuk, a sacred hill offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Phnom Sontok has been a center of Buddhist worship for centuries. The site is home to a series of pagodas and shrines built on and around the hill, reflecting the rich religious heritage of Cambodia. The mountain is particularly known for its impressive collection of large reclining and sitting Buddha statues carved directly into the rock, which date back to the 15th and 16th centuries.

Start your day with a hearty breakfast before departing for Phnom Penh, the bustling capital city of Cambodia. The drive takes approximately 3-4 hours, so leaving early ensures you have ample time to explore Phnom Penh upon arrival.

On the way, make a brief stop in the town of Skun, famously known as the "Spiderville." Here, you can witness the local delicacy of fried spiders. If you’re feeling adventurous, try one yourself and capture the moment with a photo.
