Founded by King Ponyea Yat in the 15th century, Wat Botum is one of
the original temples in Phnom Penh.
It is also one of the more important Wats in the city with many
local dignitaries having been buried here over the years. The large
green and yellow statues at the entrance to the wat represent a

kingdom, and has the ability to change into human form.
