Tours and Tickets to Experience Phnom Sambok Pagoda

Phnom Sambok Pagoda will interest meditators, photographers, and travelers with time to kill in Kratie.

The temple monkeys are photogenic but can also be aggressive. Don’t even think about feeding them; in fact, avoid even carrying food.

There’s no admission charge for the pagoda.

The stairs are shallow and well-made, and most are shaded by trees, but there are a lot of them. Wear comfortable shoes and carry water.

Phnom Sambok Pagoda is a working monastery so modest dress is important. That means covering your shoulders, belly, chest, and legs. A T-shirt with long pants is fine.

As you would anywhere, ask before taking photos of the monks.

With all those steps, the pagoda is not suitable for travelers with mobility issues. Parents should opt for slings or back carriers over strollers.
