พระธาตุเรืองรอง
A beautiful wat (temple). The whole complex takes about 90 min to visit. Open only in the daytime. The temple's architecture is a blending of art from four ethnic groups in the lower northeast: Lao, Suay, Khmer, and Yer. The Phra That Or stupa is 49 metres tall.
Wat Lan Khuad or Temple of a Million Bottles
A bizarre yet entirely serious Buddhist temple complex constructed entirely out of glass bottles. Even the pictures on the walls were assembled from bottle caps. The temple is a worthwhile detour if visiting Preah Vihear with your own transport. Its architecture is interesting, particularly the pavilion called "Sala Thansmo Maha Jedikaeo", an ubosot located mid-pond.
Leo's Bar and Restaurant has an astonishing variety of beer/ciders from many countries, priced reasonably. The farang and Thai food is well presented and some of the Western dishes are sourced from the well-established Staffords of Prasat. Most evenings the place has a mix of Thais and farangs sitting in air conditioned comfort.
Dated hotel in convenient location near Railway Station. Breakfast basic.
