In the main temple there are about 200 Buddha statues, mainly wooden. Most of them were made by local craftsmen in the 19th century.Several major tourist attractions can be mentioned in the town’s surroundings, like Phnom Penh about 99 km, Temple Sac Tu Tam Bao about 74 km

Very nice temple. The colors they used are catchy to the eyes. The architecture was a inspired by Indian designs together with the local design of the place. The moldings are creative and not complicated to look at. So colorful the temple is like a miniature in a cake.
