How rich must they have been, to commission such extravagence, and when you look over your shoulder, you see the royal palace where the current king lives, and outside such poverty, yet they continue to revere him, inspite of what his father did to them;simply amazing.

I actually liked this more than the Royal Palace as the architecture was more interesting. It is not as stunning as the temples I have visited in Thailand, India, etc.. It's still well worth the visit if you are already in Phnom Penh.

Beautiful pagoda, located in the central part of Phnom Penh, easy to find. It was recommended to us by our Tuk Tuk driver as I almost forgot on it. But this is yet another impressive site n Phnom Penh.

A true Cambodian architecture. This houses several kinds of Buddhas big and small. Every visiotr is looking forward to the silver floors but one may get disappointed as only a portion is shown to public and the rest is covered with carpet maybe to preserve it. The exposed silver floors are not properly maintained.

This place is beautiful and not to be missed, although there will be crowds so be prepared. The emerald Buddha is something to see!

This is really a must see in the place with wonderful view and design. You have to try to put your bare feet on the silver pieces in the pagoda to get the cool feeling in this only summer country.
