The province has one of the worst infrastructure in the country there are even no proper major roads in existence. Going around this province is not that easy if you are used to proper roads and usual transportation possibilities, as there are only a few pick – ups or some money hunting motor drivers to take you where you would like to go. Whatsoever the province has a lot to offer for those who are interested in ancient temple structures and remote villages without touristy influence. Here in Preah Vihear you may find three of the most impressive legacies from the Angkorian era: the mountain temple of Prasat Preah Vihear, the 10th century capital of Koh Ker and the mighty Preak Khan.

Kok Ker is nowadays easily accessible from Siem Reap via Beng Mealea, but the other two still remain difficult to visit, requiring long and tough overland journeys and a distinct possibility to spend a night in the jungle. During the wet season, these places are more or less unreachable. But there are governmental plans to develop the region for a smooth but constant tourism, building roads and improving infrastructure. The provincial capital Tbeng Meanchey is due to the infrastructure and its geographical location not visited by a lot of foreigners. Most of them do not make it here because they are worried about the street conditions. The city is sprawling and dusty and consists of little more than 2 small major dirt roads from South to North. There is nothing interesting in town or to do, so it has necessarily become more a stopover on the road way to Koh Ker and Preah Khan.
