Dângrêk Mountains
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dângrêk Mountains (Khmer regular script: 
, Chuor Phnom Dângrêk; Thai: ทิวเขาพนมดงรัก, Thiu Khao Phanom Dongrak), meaning "Carrying-Pole Mountains" in Khmer, is a low mountain range (average elevation 500 m) serving as the border between Cambodia and Thailand. The Dângrêk dominate the plain of northern Cambodia. The highest elevation is at 753 meters (2,470 feet) above sea-level.
This range extends from the Mekong River westward for approximately 200 miles (320 km), merging with the highlands near San Kamphaeng in Thailand. [1]
The famous Khmer temple, Prasat Preah Vihear is located in the Dângrêk Mountains, on the Cambodian side of the border.
