Imagine building the largest temple in the world and still have the wealth and power to build a mountain temple complex that rival Macchu Picchu? That's the impressiveness of the Khmer empire
I agree it’s an absolutely amazing site this one
Another similar temple, called Wat Pu is located on the mountain and now it is in Southern Lao.
Thank you Mr. B for your episode from Preah Vihear Temple built by the Khmer kings from the 9th to the 12th centuries. I love the shot of the temple long corridor remaniscent of the Vatican building. Your description of the recent Preah Vihear temple histories of conflict with Thailand and the retreat place of the Khmer Rounge are also interesting. Many temple damages were caused by those recent fightings. The Thai also carted off many temple pieces back to Thailand. They need to be returned for the rebuilding of the temple under UNESCO sponsorship.
Thank you very much for your kind comment. You are right that corridor is absolutely amazing. ❤️
Incredible piece, sir. Thank you so much for all your hard work. It should be aka "Temple In the Sky".
Thank you so very much for writing. I don’t get many views on my channel so your comment is very appreciated. ❤️
Great work, what you are doing. Thanks 👍
Thank you so much as I often say what I do is a lonely business, so your comment is very deeply appreciated
Another Khmer gem tastefully presented!
Thank you so much, I have a fantastic Temple for you this weekend, and I do mean fantastic. Take good care
Thank you for this video, Mr. B. Wanted to see Preah Vihear for a long time and finally you are there. Mighty impressive temple this.
great video
Thank you so much you are very kind my very best wishes to you ❤️
Jaw dropping Mr B. I could follow anything described with your enthusiasm!
It was indeed absolutely fascinating to be there 😇
I stumbled on your video by chance while looking up ancient temples in Cambodia. Love your videos! So informative. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much, what I do is a lonely business and kind comments like yours make it so much worthwhile. My very best wishes to you
Nice one Paul, in my humble opinion it’s the best temple so far.
I’m glad you liked it mate, it certainly is a very impressive place
Appreciate you showing us those gems . What a beauty and history to breathe .
You are most welcome thank you for your kind comment
What a fantastic place! I loved how you run off to show us the vastness of it 🤩 so brilliantly presented 🥰😘

Excellent job, Mr B.
Thank you very much for your kind comments is much appreciated
Wow look so beautiful view Mr. B
Thank you so much, it’s much appreciated. You take good care Kara
Awesome . Your work is amazing
Thank you you are very kind. It is very much a labour of love. I have just returned from five days on the road pushing into Thailand and hunting Temples there. Your comment is gratefully received as my channel does not get that many views. So it’s very gratifying to hear from you. My very best wishes. Mr B
@@TheMrB You are welcome . Looking forward to exciting videos .
Cambodia had been blessed by their ancestor's heritage, but kinda disappointed looking the way cambodian government managed all of those temple.
Here in indonesia, we preserved all our temple seriously, broken stones cloned, and the original put on museums, so temple can be rebuild as the original before.
Hope the government of cambodia can do more on those
I completely agree with you, thank you so much for your comment
The temples in Cambodia is far larger than the ones in Indonesia and in Cambodia alone there are over 5,000 ancient khmer temples.
Unfortunately, the current government pocket (99%) profits while the small ticket (1%) goes to care and workers for all the ruins.
Thanks for giving some advices. However, most of Khmer temples have been destroyed by the civil wars happened in our country. Due to wars, Cambodia has to start from zero to build the country again so the money does matters. I’m sure when our country getting better and better, they will definitely take a huge actions in protecting the temples.
Another Great VDO, Mr. B. I cannot stress enough that our ancestors built great temples all over Cambodia and stretched from modern Vietnam to modern Burma. Our ancestors strong believe in Hinduism that built the greatest Khmer Empire that lasted for more than 600 years, the downfall came as soon as converted to Buddhism. The battle between Hinduism and Buddhism have lost million lives and massive land. This history that all Cambodian people should know. I am proud of our ancestor Hinduism and that left us their legends.
There is no evidence that religious conversion led to the downfall of the Khmer empire. Two of Angkors greatest Kings were Buddhist and each rule the empire at its peak. You have King Tribhuvanaditya the builder of Beng Melea and the whole temples around that area. You have King Jayavarman 7th who built Angkor thom. The downfall of the Khmer empire was the decline of the Knom regime. This was a voluntary labor culture that was ingrained in the society for a long time until it collapse. The Knom system was the backbone of the Khmer empire economy. Without it who will build the temples, cities, roads, irrigation systems, carvings, etc?????
I am aware as to how many temples there are. And it is a complete blessing to me. Because hunting, these temples will take me the rest of my life, and I could not think of a better thing to do. I am so in love with travelling and filming these sites. I travel about 25,000 km every year, and there is no place. I would rather be, on my bike, heading into the sunset, knowing that there is an ancient site at the end of the road. My very best wishes to you. Mr B
@@TheMrB I have to say you have alot of work to do Mr. B 😂
Your presentation of the compound is different from those done by the locals, perhaps due to different perspectives. I see the glory of this place by your well guided tour. អរគុណច្រើន,Mr.B.
Thank you so much for your kind comment. It is deeply appreciated as what I do is a lonely business.
3:20 Both the east and west side of the mountain are fortified with entrenchments and pillboxes with sandbags in similar condition. I wonder how much of that is original from the cold war or more recent.
Thanks what a wonderful temple.
Thanks for the video about this extraordinary temple. Unfortunately, it's been way too long since I was there.
You are more than welcome I love what I do and I love what I see
I visisted Preah Vihear temple,Its changed a little to compared with this video,thanks for sharing
The Gods & the internet do appreciate the significant work of a seemingly insignificant being signalling the signs of the great Khmer Empire designs.
Thank you so very much that is very kind of you. Take good care
Hi Mr. B. Great video I enjoyed it immensely. I haven’t been to Phrear Vinhear though I’ve been to 5 of the remote temples in my visits to Cambodia.
I was wondering about the trip up the mountain to the temple. I know motos can do the climb, do you know if cars can?
Yes they can there is a lot of nonsense said that you need a professional driver to get you up that mountain, that is complete crap. It is very steep but my father was born in the Alps of Italy and to me it was just nothing, but some say it’s very scary. So yes it’s more than easy to do
Hey Mr. B thanks for showing this marvellous temple. Did you drive up there with the motorbike? I am travelling there soon and was wondering if it's possible. :D
Absolutely you can get up there on the bike it is very steep and some people say you need a professional driver but that is quite simply nonsense, there is absolutely no reason why you can’t just drive up as I did
@@TheMrB Oh my, sounds like I'm up for an adventure. I guess the drivers also need to make a living which is why they say that. Thanks for your reply.
The drivers are basically ripping you off tell you the truth, they may have been useful when there was no road and it was rough, but now there is a road so they are totally unnecessary
👍
You should visit prasat phimai temple in Thailand . It’s a Cambodian temple remains there
As soon as the rain stop I am heading into Thailand and will be filming there very soon I hope. Very best wishes to you
Actually just looked at it. It is now very high on my list, thank you for the recommendation
Not only just Phimai but there are hundreds of Khmer temples in Thailand
Great independent documentary. I enjoyed it. The site has tons of history to tell. This temple was also the last holdout of the Cambodian nationalist forces when the Khmer Rouge took power, and they too fled to Thailand when the stronghold fell. A couple decades later it was the site of a great atrocity when the Thais forced tens of thousands of Cambodian refugees back across the border, pushing them down the escarpment into mine fields, shooting those who refused to go, resulting in the loss of an estimated 5,000 lives. At least this is what I read on Wikipedia.
Please stop spreading fake news👎🙄, Thailand always helps cambodian people.
@@padkhing Noooo... Westerners were the only ones who helped them after Thai dictator Kriangsak Chomanan announced he didn't want the refugees in Thailand and kicked them out.
@@padkhing how…and when? $+$=$$; no benefits = zero help. Research….not with in your community? I do have my source and live there for couple years. 😖so I'll leave it at that and great day!
Here is from the world news “The1975, after losing their civil war back home. Most of the refugees from Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam who were granted asylum in Thailand after the wars ended there were not allowed to become permanent residents of Thailand.” Red Cross and world Release, and other organizations are the savior. Against, $+$ = out of my county.
@@khmerrepublic7188 I'm not surprised that Khmers would respond like this. This is the answer of the ungrateful person. Today they turn around to bite Thailand, Thai people. Steal Thai culture. Shameful, disgusting. Claimbodia
It could be advantageous to use an aerial instrument to appreciate more the majestic location of this holy site 🙏
They don’t allow drones. They go mental if you try it.
After the Khmer Rouge was defeated, my family walked into Thailand. Along with thousands other illegal immigrants, the That army threw us on buses and dropped us off this very cliff. We were forced to down the steep mountain cliff back down to Cambodia. There were land mines very. I don’t know how my family survived the journey.
Did I mention there was no food or medicine along the way back to civilization?
Good Lord. Your story sounds incredible. I would love to interview you one day if possible.
At the very least, your story should be recorded for history
My sincerest Best wishes to you and to your family

What fictional history is this? Keep that story in Thailand. Haha
Today it has deteriorated greatly after being taken care of by Cambodia.
Hinduism actually born in Cambodia and spread to countries like India, Nepal etc.,
ถ้าพื้นที่นี้ยังอยู่ในประเทศไทยจะได้รับการบูรณะ ให้สวยงาม
Sometimes i wonder where the ancient Khmer got all the resource in the world to build so many temples. Preah Vihear temple is on a very high mountain.
A strong leader and plenty of man power will move mountains
True, strong leaders that made it possible. What even more possible was Hinduism, our ancestors believe in God King. King as their God, this strong belief that made Khmer built the greatest empire, and the downfall came right after converted to Buddhism. Studied Khmer history for more than 10 years now!
Some believed that our ancestors had Magical Power.
It is quite obvious that these constructions were NOT made 1000 years ago by some king with an army of serfs with primitive tools or elephants! It is obvious that in those areas as in others such as Egypt, Baalbek, Peru, Bolivia, India, was used Advanced Technology of cutting, processing, lifting and transportation over distances of tens or hundreds of km from the quarry.
The same historical falsification is presented here as in the other sites, for example in Egypt, where it is said that the Egyptian Pharaohs built the pyramids, osirion, obelisks, gigantic statues, mastabales bunkers etc.
You meant the Preah Vihear temple is the last Lon Nol soldiers resistance fell to the genocidal Khmer Rouge ? The soldiers must be kept on fighting long after the fall of Phnom Penh and when the Khmer Rouge routed them the soldiers simply abandoned the temple then escaped in to Thailand. Clever and lucky at the same time to be stationed there during the war.
I think it was the best of the few choices they had, it’s a great strategic position with an instant getaway.
My uncle and his soldiers were the last troops who fought with the Pol Pot soldiers and were forced to abandon the area because of the outnumbered Khmer Rouge soldiers.
Was CV that at Anlong Veng? I believe his last strong hold.
Was that at Anlong Veng do you know?
The reason Preah Vihear temple is empty or abandoned nowadays is because Thailand lost it to Cambodia. Now Cambodia owns it but they dont have resources or skills to promote this place. The way to get to this temple from Cambodia side is very dangerous and difficult. Its a back door. Not to mention there are so many land mines. Again, Cambodians dont do shit to improve it.
When it belonged to Thailand, Thai government and local people helped remove all land mines. The entrance to the temple was very easy and safe. Its the front door. They promoted the place a d it was one of the big attractions. The temple was always busy with tourists and many local Cambodian and Thai vendors came to set up the shops, to make a living. Its unfortunate that Thailand lost it but there are many other places for Thai vendors to make a living such as this: th-cam.com/video/f5ayUzRZXds/w-d-xo.html
What a waste 😅😂
I'm glad is back to the original owner. Is part of their ancestors.
@@SirNova2o9 The original owner that doesnt know how to repair and maintain the temple? Not sure how that even works 😂
@@iROChakri Unlike descendants of thieves still want something that doesn't belong to them. LoL, Keep bowing down to my ancestor's temple. You know the original owner. Lmao
@@SirNova2o9 The only thieves in Cambodia? Claiming eveyrthing but cant do anything, not even 1/10th of Thai people. The thieves are so salty hahaha. Keep on promoting Thai cultures in Cambodia, while feeling so jealous of Thailand welcoming all the tourists. You know, they love the original things in Thailand, not copies in Cambodia 😂😂😂
If your ancestors built it, why cant you thieves even repair, maintain, and promote anything? Barbarians want Thai temple but dont know how to do anything Lmfao
😭 Are you Anti-Khmer (hatred)? You should stop playing video game and go in the library looking for truth (fact) no fiction. Basically, you have created your own story and spread disinformation to your own peoples and such a shame to followers.
