Wat Khaong Kang (Pailin Buddhism Temple)

Overview

At the base of Phnom Yat hill, an impressive gate dating to 1968 leads to Wat Khaong Kang, an important centre for Buddhist teaching before the Khmer Rouge madness. The exterior wall is decorated with an especially long bas-relief of the Churning of the Ocean of Milk. The last time we pulled through town the interior couldn't be viewed due to restoration work, but that could be finished by the time you visit.
