An active temple with a horrofic history. The older temple around this area was used as a place to keep prisoners during the Khmer Rouge era. This is a good place to see before visiting the "Killing Fields" which are located right next to the Wat Samrong Knong.
-
An ancient Buddhist pagoda. The former main temple is on the process of putting its name into the World Heritage list. The temple itself is full of glories and horror. During Khmer Krohorm period, the temple was used as a captive for prisoners who were mostly ordinary people. 10,008 people lost their lives. The compound is tranquil and filled with calm after the tragedy.

Another wat, but this place has a bit of history to it, though rather dark...this was the site of one of the many 'killing fields' of the Khmer Rouge, reportedly over 10.000 people were tortured and killed here...a memorial in the back is filled with skulls and bones that were recovered later...oh dear!
