Muang Boran

In the north-east of the grounds ("No man's land" between Thailand and Cambodia) a 54-m (177-ft) hill has been formed, on which the Khao Phra Wiharn stands, the original temple of which was the holy destination for kings and pilgrims alike for some 1000 years, and, following the peace agreement with Cambodia, is so once again. From a small river the visitor can scale four terraces - it is less strenuous in the morning when it is cooler - where there are stone ruins which used to be crowned by artistic gabled roofs in the Angkor-Wat style. Khao Phra Wiharn has an authentic reconstruction of such a roof. From the top of the "hill" there are good views of the whole site.
