From September of 2023,Me and my friends saw news about Koh Ker temple being inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list During the 45th session of the World Heritage Committee in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, September 17th, 2023. Since we also have a plan to visit Angkor Wat together in 2024 we decided to plan a trip.
We planned to book the bus for traveling but it seemed convenient for us to use a private taxi instead. We booked a private taxi from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap using taptaxi service. The driver arrived at the pick up location on time and dropped at the hostel.
We spent 1 day and a morning in Siem Reap, visited the Angkor Museum, Angkor Thom and pub street. We tried different types of regional food. The next morning, we went to Angkor Wat in the early morning to see the view of the sun rise and that’s amazing.
At 9AM, We booked taptaxi service again from Angkor wat to Koh Ker temple. We traveled 2 hours and 20 min (116.5KM) to arrive at the temple. You’re also able to book the taxi in phnom penh directly to the Koh Ker temple with Taptaxi.
Koh Ker temple located in the northern part of CambodiaPreah Vihear province, was built in the 10th century.
In the shape of a 7 stages pyramid within 62 meters square and the height of 35 meters based on the detail in front of the temple. There are many temples located along the way.
Along the way there are many small temples along the way to The Koh Ker temple with different style and concept of designing related to the khmer traditional story. At the top of the temple, there is a beautiful green view of the forest around the temples with fresh air blowing.
With the comfort, polite and friendly driver from taptaxi. He welcomed us with a soft smile and responded to our questions clearly by the way he’s very professional in his job. He also let us stop in each temple along the way to visit and take photos. After that we went back to Phnom Penh.
Conclusion: There are many places to explore in this small land beside Koh Ker and Angkor wat temple. But I recommend Taptaxi as the best taxi service in Cambodia, due to the fast response, polite customer service and friendly and professional drivers. Book Now
