Silver Pagoda

Silver Pagoda is known as “Wat Preah Keo Morakot” for locals, while it has a formal name as “Uborsoth Rotannaran”. Although all pagodas in Cambodia have to have monks, Silver Pagoda has no monk living there. This site is served for only the king for worshiping, praying and practicing every Buddhist Silas Day.

It was erected in impressive design. The floor was laid with silver tiles, while its columns were covered with glass stone. A Buddha statue was made of gold having 90 kilogram (about 200 pounds) weight and decorated with 2,086 diamonds. Another important in this site is paintings on the wall of its gallery that depict the scene of ancient epic Ream Ke.
