Preah Vihear Chan Temple

Located at the foot of the mountain and near the village of Ba Phnom, the site features the partially standing remains of a brick temple. The standing features are the sandstone doorframe and laterite blocks that appear to be a modern rearrangement. There are further remains on the northern and southern sides but uncleared.

Immediately on either side of the site are drink and snack stalls, across the road is Wat Vihear Kuk. See Ba Phnom District for more attractions in the area.
