Thma Puok heritage day
Banteay Chhmar temple complex in the morning, the satellite temple Ta Prohm before lunch, then the CBT village for an ox-cart sunset and a homestay night.

Ten documented places across nine districts — from a 12th-century face-temple the size of a small city to a wetland that hosts the tallest flying bird on earth. Filter by type, or search by name and district.
How to combine them
Suggested route shapes
Banteay Meanchey’s sites are spread wide, so plan by district rather than by day. These three groupings work well.
Phnom Srok nature & craft day
Dawn Sarus Crane watching at Ang Trapeang Thmor, then the silk weaving villages in the afternoon. Both are within 12 km of Phnom Srok town.
Rice plains and the river
Prasat Snung and Prasat Basaet in the morning, back to Serei Saophoan for the covered market, the riverside promenade and the night market.
Access notes
Distances are real; roads are not always sealed.
Most provincial temples and the crane reserve are reached partly on laterite road. In the wet season a high-clearance vehicle or a local driver-guide is strongly advised. Contact the visitor office for current road conditions before you set out.
