Wat Bo, Cambodia

Wat Thmey, located near the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek in Cambodia, is a significant historical and cultural site.

Wat Bo is one of the oldest Buddhist pagodas in Siem Reap, Cambodia, known for its rich history and stunning murals. Built in the 18th century, it stands apart from other temples with its beautifully preserved wall paintings depicting scenes from the Reamker, Cambodia’s version of the Ramayana. The temple offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling tourist crowds of Angkor Wat.

This is a hill temple in the second largest city of Cambodia, dedicated to Lord Buddha. Though it is not clearly visible as to who constructed this temple and when it was constructed, there are enough evidences and architectural remnants to prove that this must have been built many centuries ago. Highlights – Wat Banan Temple is located on top of a hill and it takes around 300 steep and difficult set of stairs to get to this temple. There are five huge towers in this Buddhist temple, out of which most of them are in a dilapidated state today. The vast growth of vegetation hides the view of these majestic towers from the road, so it is quite difficult to actually spot the temple. The carvings of the now-headless apsaras on the towers make the hard route worth every second. Location – Located at about 45minutes from the famous Mount Sampeau. Timings – 7AM to 7PM. Price – About USD2 for going up the hill.
