Phnom Krom Temple is a popular destination for national and international tourists as it is not far from Siem Reap city, about 12 km, located in Chong Kneas commune next to the Tonle Sap Lake.

Ra Dy, a Tourism Agent stationed at Phnom Krom, said that on the top of Phnom Krom, there is an ancient temple built in the late 9th and early 10th centuries. Phnom Krom Temple is a popular destination that can attract tourists because, besides the ancient temple on the mountain, tourists can also see the beautiful sunrise in the eastern part of the temple and the beautiful sunset view, accompanied by the breath-taking view of the Tonle Sap Lake behind the temple (west side), differs from the sunrise and sunset views of Angkor Wat and Phnom Bakheng temples without interfering with other tourists as well as watching the view of Siem Reap city from the distance and the surrounding rice fields.

Tourists can also enjoy the view of the Tonle Sap Lake, which is accompanied by the sound of boats or canoes echoing indiscriminately by the fishermen living nearby. In particular, many residents’ homes.

Ra Dy said that tourists who come to Phnom Krom will get a refreshing feeling by being able to absorb the fresh air with beautiful scenery and see the sky glow golden red. Not only that, Phnom Krom is also a good place for exercise besides Phnom Bakheng.

He stated that to facilitate the visit of tourists, the APSARA National Authority has organized a tour destination at the temple. On the other hand, the team of APSARA National Authority always pays attention by pruning the branches and cleaning the surrounding environment regularly. Apsara Authority
