Wat Phnom Tel (Srayang)

Located in Preah Vihear province near the border of Siem Reap and Oddar Meanchey atop a small mountain (Phnom Tel Khmer: ភ្នំតែល), it’s a contemporary monastery and pagoda with an older style wood columned vihara and more modern pagoda that offers superb views across the plains below and to the mountains in the distance.

To the east of here is a small village, Tel Village, with one stall offering gasoline/drinks/snack foods and 6km to the east is Phnom Sandak. From here, there is a reasonable dirt road heading west-northwest to Tumnup Knor (Oddar Meanchey Province) and a good road leading south to Siem Reap Province.
