Koh Ker is unique for its pyramid-style central temple, Prasat Thom, which is unlike other temples in Cambodia, and for being a rare, short-lived capital of the Khmer Empire away from Angkor. Its architecture, developed during its time as capital, featured large-scale construction, and it was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in September 2023. It also offers a more secluded and natural experience, surrounded by dense jungle. Architectural and historical uniqueness
Prasat Thom Pyramid: The seven-tiered, 30-meter-high pyramid of Prasat Thom is the most distinctive feature. It is a unique design compared to the more typical mountain-style temples of the region.
Preah Khan Kampong Svay is unique for its massive size, distinct art motifs like the three-headed elephants and Garuda, its status as a major industrial center, and its remote location that has preserved a "jungle temple" atmosphere with fewer tourists.

Prasat Linga is a temple housing a massive linga, a symbolic pillar representing the Hindu god Shiva. These temples, often found at sites like Koh Ker, feature a large, monolithic stone linga (often 2 meters high) on a yoni pedestal (the female symbol).
