Prast Linga 1

Prast Linga 1 is a information in Preah Vihear, Cambodia — one of 8 local services we map across the province, and part of a wider dataset of 228 mapped locations in Preah Vihear. In Khmer it would be described as សេវាកម្មនៅព្រះវិហារ. It sits at 13.78705, 104.54598, which is the coordinate any Cambodian tuk-tuk or PassApp driver can be shown directly if the name is unfamiliar to them.

As a local service, it serves both residents and visitors passing through Preah Vihear. It has no official website, so opening hours and prices are best confirmed by phone or by asking locally on the day — small businesses in Cambodia change hours seasonally and close for family events and festivals.

The easiest way to find Prast Linga 1 is by nearby landmarks. It lies roughly 900 m south-west of Prasat Thom, and about 1.1 km west of Tomb of the White Elephant, with Koh Ker Jungle Lodge a further 1.1 km west. Drivers in Preah Vihear usually navigate by these anchors rather than street numbers, so naming the closest one gets you there faster than an address.

From the centre of Preah Vihear, a tuk-tuk or PassApp ride is the standard way to arrive; short in-town trips generally cost US$1 to US$3, and longer provincial runs are worth agreeing in advance. Rented motorbikes are widely available from guesthouses, and self-driving is realistic on sealed roads in the dry season — less so between June and October, when heavy afternoon rain floods side streets and unpaved approaches. The "Get directions" link on this page opens the exact coordinates in Google Maps for turn-by-turn navigation.

Prast Linga 1 is mapped as a information in Preah Vihear. Public offices and service points in Cambodia usually work Monday to Friday from 7:30am or 8am, break for lunch between noon and 2pm, and close by 5pm; they shut entirely on the country's public holidays, which cluster around Khmer New Year in April, Pchum Ben and the November Water Festival.

Bring your passport and photocopies for anything official, and expect paperwork to be handled in person rather than online. Arriving early in the morning avoids both the queue and the heat.

Prast Linga 1 is not isolated: our map records 8 other mapped locations within a short ride, including Prasat Thom (attraction, 900 m south-west), Tomb of the White Elephant (place of worship, 1.1 km west), Koh Ker Jungle Lodge (guest house, 1.1 km west), Prasat Khatom (attraction, 2.1 km south). Pairing a visit here with one or two of those makes a more efficient half-day, especially if you are paying a driver by the trip rather than by the hour.
