Decretato patrimonio dell'umanità dell'UNESCO il tempio di Preah Vihear è situato al confine tra Cambogia e Thailandia. La zona è molto povera ma è da sempre contesa tra i due stati. Fino a qualche anno fa non c'era una strada asfaltata e non era una zona tranquilla. Questa zona fu la roccaforte degli khmer rouge, gli spietati assassini invasati del regime del dittatore Pol Pot, fino alla loro caduta, nel 1998. Pol Pot e compagni restarono a lungo rintanati qui, tra le foreste, vicini al confine thailandese, pronto da utilizzare in caso di fuga. Ancora oggi i contrasti non si possono considerare risolti. Gli ultimi scontri armati risalgono al 2008-2009, ma la zona è ancora oggi presidiata militarmente. Nella foto un militare cambogiano "tiene compagnia" a due monaci all'inteno della zona di preghiera.
