Cambodian architecture of Wat Samrong Knong temple in Battambang.
  • You may also see the temple’s name written Somrong Knong or Somroung Knong. These are different ways of transliterating the same Khmer words.

  • The temple is not only a working monastery but also the site of a mass murder. It’s important to dress correctly (covering shoulders, upper arms, chest, belly, and legs to the knee) and behave with respect: Laughing or smiling selfies are likely to offend.

  • The reliefs are graphic, including depictions of gang rape, and the skulls and bones are confronting. Wat Samrong Knong is not a good choice for pre-teen children.

  • Parts of Wat Samrong Knong are accessible with a wheelchair.
