If yes could you share your experience on road conditions and driving time?

As you turn off highway 6 at Stoung, the first couple of kilometres are fine powder sand with deep potholes, the road then becomes a pretty flat red dirt road with very small bumps/ potholes (about an hour to an hour and a half on this at a normal speed). After that the road turns into a oxcart trail with very deep sand in places; this stretch was around 40km (Sorry don't have exact distances!). In total the route took under 2 and a half hours with stops (the 4x4 following behind made it in just over 3) _________________ http://www.dancingroadscambodia.com Back to top Bert on the bike Motorcyclist Joined: 05 Oct 2007 Posts: 40 Location: Thailand Posted: 10.01.2008, 08:23    Post subject: Hi Thank you very much for the information.

Is it correct that Stoung to Ta Seng is the easiest way to Preah khan?

We will take our GPS and will check your data against ours. After we are back we will post it here.

I've just been checking it on Mapsource it it appears fairly detailed with the Stoung-Ta Seng route labelled V Preah Khan, going via krabau, Dong, O Sakram. Perhaps Dancing Roads can confirm ?

This will make our live much easier and maybe we will enjoy the trip even more by not having to think about the route. We will let you guys know when we are back.
