Theprovince has one of the worstinfrastructures in the country – there areeven no proper Major Roadsin existence. Going around this province isnot that easy if you’reused to proper roads and usual transportationpossibilities, as thereare only a few pick-ups or some money-huntingmoto drivers to take youwhere you would like to go.
Whatsoever theprovince has a lot tooffer for those, who are interested in ancienttemple structures andremote villages without touristy influence. Herein Preah Vihear youmay find three of the most impressive legacies fromthe Angkorian era:the mountain temple of Prasat Preah Vihear, the10th-century capital ofKoh Ker and the mighty Preak Khan. Koh Ker isnowadays easilyaccessible from Siem Reap via Beng Mealea, but the othertwo stillremain difficult to visit, requiring long and tough overlandjourneysand a distinct possibility to spend a night in the jungle.During thewet season these places are more or less unreachable. Butthere aregovernmental plans to develop the region for a smooth butconstanttourism, building roads and improving infrastructure.

Theprovincial capital Tbeng Meanchey isdue to the state of theinfrastructure and it’s geographical locationnot visited by a lot offoreigners. Most of them don’t make it hereworrying about the streetconditions and the backcountry feeling of nofast supply in need. Thecity is sprawling and dusty and consists oflittle more than two smallmajor dirt roads form South to North. Thereis nothing interesting intown or to do, so it has necessarily becomemore a stopover on the wayto Koh Ker and Preah Khan.
