    In the course of a day on a scooter in the vicinity of Battambang, we visited this place full of calm and poetry: admired the huge coy carp in the basin, strolled among the responsible buildings history and drama, contemplated the coloured frescoes and the statuary moving. Places are quietly being restored? Maintained. Despite everything: feeling of abandonment.

    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.
