From Cambodia in Preah Vihear
A packed laterite access road from Siem Reap via Anlong Veng, a distance of over 200 km, was completed in 2003. The road from Siem Reap to Anlong Veng has recently been fully paved, and most of the road from Anlong Veng to Preah Vihear has been paved, with an approximately 20 km stretch remaining a dirt road but in the process of being paved. While a 4x4 is not necessary to make it to the base of the hill on which Preah Vihear is located, a 4x4 or moto will be required to scale the steep road going up the hill.
Dancing Roads regularly arranges multi-day bike trips from Phnom Penh to Preah Vihear.
You can also reach the place on a three day motorbike trip from Kompong Thom.
As of June 2010, Preah Vihear could only be accessed by going through a Cambodian military base. While the temple can be accessed by tourists, you should bring both a native Cambodian guide and small denominations of Cambodian Riel for "gifts" to soldiers and their families. In addition, while there is no official entrance fee, to scale the road leading to the temple, you may be required to give gifts to military closing off the road.
