From Cambodia, the temple can be approached either by TbengMeanchey in PreahVihear province or from Siem Reap in Siem Reap province via AnlongVeng. Although the highway is paved when it leaves Siem Reap, both roads are (occasionally) graded gravel once they begin to approach the Dangrek escarpment.
It can be approached more easily from Thailand. The approach is from Kantharalak district (amphoe) of Sisaket province. Cambodia allows day-trip access to the temple from Thailand on a visa-free basis. An entrance fee of US$5 or 200 baht is charged foreigners (as of 2006, reduced to 50 baht for Thai citizens), plus a fee of 5 baht for processing a photocopy of their passport. Foreign nationals must pay an access fee of 400 baht to enter the surrounding KhaoPraWihan National Park.
Cambodia has periodically cut off access from Thailand during times of dispute with the Thai government
