Long Beach on the western shore is widely considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Southeast Asia, extending 7 kilometers with barely a building in sight. The island is also famous for bioluminescent plankton that illuminate the shallow water at night with an ethereal blue glow.

The museum's four galleries hold a collection of over 14,000 objects spanning from prehistoric times through the post-Angkor period, with highlights including the colossal Vishnu of Mebon, the Leper King statue from Angkor Thom, and exceptional bronze and stone sculptures tracing the full arc of Khmer artistic achievement.

Carved into the hillside are several caves including the infamous Killing Caves, where the Khmer Rouge threw victims to their deaths during the 1970s, now memorialized with a stupa and glass-enclosed bones.

The temple's name is thought to mean Turn the Body, a possible reference to Khmer cremation rituals that may have taken place here.

Visitors travel by boat from Siem Reap to the floating ranger station deep within the flooded forest, then transfer to smaller vessels that navigate silently beneath the tree canopy to reach observation towers above the nesting colonies.
