Also called Phnom Chisor. The ruins are similar to Angkor Wat but waaay smaller. Legend said that this is the old Capital City of Khmer Kingdom, before moved to Phnom Penh. Located on top of a hill, quite far away from Phnom Penh, around 55km, took me 2 hours drive by motorbike. The road there is good, using the main road NR2, until entering the smaller ununpaved roads at km 50-ish. Then ride along the bumpy redsand road until found the parking lot. Many street vendors there. Then you should climb up the stairs, quite lobg, but the view is greater every steps. Once atop, it's like a small village (which is kinda true coz sone people and monks living there) with this ruins of temples around. If you've been to Angkor Wat, you'll see the similarities of the designs. There're also newer temple here. Not much of foreginers there. At that time I was the only foreigner. Others are locals, family and teens hanging around looking at the view from above. Not so crowded. Good vibe. The kids vibin' with loud Dangdut musics up here, while nearby there's some temple with monks in it. Quite amusing! On the back, there are a small stair going down to other ruins. Some kind of gate maybe.

The temple Prasat Phnom Chisor from the 11th century is located on the eastern side near the top of this 133m mountain. The architecture reflects its dedication to Hinduism. Next to it is a much younger Hindu temple. But the mountain has many more Buddhist temples and religious buildings. You can get there over the western stairway (secured parking at the bottom), via the eastern stairway (overgrown, not in good shape, only unsecured parking next to Sen Nimol Temple). Or you drive right up to the mountain from the south, there is parking right next to it.

Nice place for a small photo-stop with a pleasant view from the top. Remains of the old temple are not so well-preserved, but it's still interesting to see. The stairs up to the mountain are quite "friendly" with low broad steps. It takes around 10 minutes to go up for an average person. Some snacks can be purchased on the way, as well as some beggers will approach you too. I wish they had more dustbins around the place. They have some, but it's not enough, so some garbage is still around the place.

Sitting on around 133m above sea level, an ancient Temple built in 11th century from laterite stone and bricks stands to welcome tourists. You may talk a walk through steeply ancients stairs way or new constructed strairs way or you may drive up on the mountain. It was dry season that can hardly see green but you can enjoy the breeze after sweeting from clumping up. It was great experience seeing temple and the view of other two temples and Tunle Om from distance.

Worth visiting for sure - just 2 hours drive from Phnom Penh - so great for a day trip. The place is on the top of the hill. Be aware that there are 2 parking places - one at the bottom and then you have to walk up for some 10 minutes and other one on the top - so you can drive up avoiding exercising. Also would recommend having lunch on the top of the hill - there many places selling noodles, drinks etc. CHISOR temple is not large, but really impressive.
