Prasat Chea Hao / Ji Ho

Description

Prasat Chea Hao, also written Ji Ho or Cihao, is a brick temple in Kokir commune, Romeas Haek district, near the Cambodia–Vietnam border. It is separate from Prey Basak near the provincial town.

Provincial and tourism sources describe surviving brick architecture in a riverside setting. Their historical detail differs, so this guide does not present an exact construction date, builder or present percentage of survival as established fact.

How to Get There

Travel east from Phnom Penh on National Road 1 by bus, minivan or car. Svay Rieng town and the Bavet border city are separate stops on this wider corridor.

For Prasat Chea Hao / Ji Ho, continue toward Kokir commune, Romeas Haek. A car or motorbike covers the local road section; use the established approach for the final walk and keep a return vehicle for a countryside outing.

Admission

A reliable current ticket price for this site is not published in the reviewed sources. Keep transport and any parking or guide service separate from admission; voluntary religious donations are not the same as a published ticket.

Things to Do

Study the brick walls and surviving architectural details from permitted ground. A locally arranged explanation can help distinguish the ancient fabric from later changes.

What to Eat

The town market is a practical place for rice dishes, noodle soup and fruit. Take drinking water for an outing away from town.

Where to Stay

Svay Rieng town is a useful base for the Waiko riverfront and nearby countryside. Bavet is a separate border-city stay.

Best Time to Visit

Morning or late afternoon is more comfortable for exposed courtyards and climbs. The cooler, drier months from November to February suit longer heritage walks.

Before You Go

Follow local directions around the border area. A temple visit is not permission to enter a restricted track, cross a river or cross the international border. Do not climb or remove archaeological material.
