 Verified Best driver in Siem Reap - Highly recommend
Chan really is the best driver in Siem Reap! He always made sure we were comfortable and hydrated, giving us ice cold water on our return from each temple and driving with care and safety. His knowledge and expertise are amazing and made our 3 day tour of the temples a highlight of our south east Asia trip, providing us with insight into each temple, Cambodian culture & history, and always with a huge smile! If you want to truely enjoy Siem Reap and all its beauty, you need to book Chan! He truely is the best driver we have ever hired :) We cannot wait to return to Cambodia and drive with Chan again one day.

 Verified Brilliant tour guide! Goes above and beyond!
Fantastic tour guide! Chan was very informative, gave us as much time as we liked at each temple and was flexible in the temples we wanted to see. Cold water between temples was perfect on such a hot day! Would definitely recommend Chan for a temples tour and super affordable

We had a great three day temple tour with Kosal. We visited the temples around Angkor Way and also some a good bit further from Siem Reap. Doing it by tuc tic was great. Kosal is a really friendly guy., with good English. He was flexible and was a real pleasure to get to know. He is honest and very punctual. Hire him, you won't go wrong.

 Verified Highly recommended!
We spent an amazing 2 days with Kosal. He gave us the history of each temple we visited as well as plenty more information about Cambodia, past and present. He made a few stops along the way and told us about farming practices and traditional building methods. It was a very interesting and informative experience. Kosal is a great guy, he speaks good English and is a very safe driver too!

 Verified Best Tuk Tuk driver
Kosal drove us to our hotel when we arrived in Siem Reap and told us a lot about the city during the short drive, including a short language course. We liked him so much that we booked our two Angkor tours with him. Unfortunately, he didn't have time for our first tour (sunset), but he organized a tour with his brother, which was also great. On the second day, we did the sunrise tour with him and it was amazing. We were always provided with water and were able to leave our backpack in the tuk tuk. Kosal knows so much about the temples and Cambodia's history that he is both a tuk tuk driver and a tour guide. You can have a great conversation with him, also about every day stuff and he speaks very good English. And he is so nice and friendly. We can absolutely recommend Kosal and would book a tour with him again at any time.

Preah Ko (Sacred Bull) derives its name from the three statues of sandstone located in the front of and facing the temple’s central towers. These statues represent Nandi, the white bull who serves as the mount of Shiva.

Preah Ko was the first temple to be built in the ancient and now defunct city of Hariharalaya (Today is called Roluos, some 15 kilometers south-east of the main group of temples at Angkor, Cambodia. The temple was built under the Khmer King Indravarman I in 879 to honor members of the king’s family, whom it places in relation with the Hindu deity Shiva.

Preah Ko consists of six brick towers arranged in two rows of three towers each perched on a sandstone platform. The towers face east, and the front central tower is the tallest. The sanctuaries are dedicated to three divinized forefathers of Indravarman and their respective wives. The front central tower is dedicated to Jayavarman II, the founder of the Khmer empire. The tower to the left is dedicated to Prithivindreshvara, King Indravarman’s father; the tower to the right to Rudreshvara, his grandfather. The three rear towers are dedicated to the wives of these three men. The central towers all bear images of the Hindu god Shiva.
