A long day driving to Preah Vihear Temple situated on top a 525-metre cliff in the Dângrêk Mountains in Cambodia near the northeastern border of Thailand and Cambodia. The temple is perched on a hilltop with a commanding view of its surroundings and is constructed on a long north-south axis, instead of the usual rectangular plan facing east. Back to Siem Reap late evening.

Day 6 Siem Reap (B)
Full day at leisure.
Optional: Prek Toal Sanctuary (best time to visit the Prek Toal should be during water season (August January)
The 'bird sanctuary' at the Prek Toal core area of the Tonle Sap Biosphere Reserve has been called "the single most important breeding ground in Southeast Asia for globally threatened large water birds." The Biosphere covers 31,282 hectares at the northwest tip of the Tonle Sap Lake and plays host to species including Greater and Lesser Adjuncts, Black-headed Ibis, Painted Stork, Milky Stork, Spot-billed Pelican, Grey-Headed Fish Eagle and many more species. Of the three Biosphere core areas on the Tonle Sap Lake, Prek Toal is the most accessible from Siem Reap and the most popular with birdwatchers. The best time of year for viewing is the dry season when flocks of migratory birds congregate at Prek Toal. As the dry season progresses and the water recedes, the number of birds increases but the travel to some of the more important viewing areas becomes more difficult.
