THE Apsara National Authority (ANA) has temporarily banned tourists from visiting the Pre Rup temple area at the Angkor Archaeological Park in Siem Reap due to parts of the temple becoming unstable and posing a safety risk.

In an announcement on Wednesday, the ANA said the ban will be in effect from today until repairs are completed.
