Ancient Khmer Highway

The Ancient Khmer Highway was a 225 km (140 mi) roadway going northwest between Angkor (in Cambodia) and Phimai (Vimayapura) (now in Thailand).

[citation needed] Most of the road is overgrown by the jungle and is only visible today on aerial photographs.

The only part of the road which is still driveable is at the entrance to the town of Phimai (state route 2163).

[citation needed] Most of the buildings along the road date from the reign of King Jayavarman VII.

[citation needed] The road used the Ta Muen Thom pass over the Dângrêk Mountains, and the first major stop was the Phanom Rung temple.
