Phnom Penh - Wat Phnom Sampeou
http://www.hotsia.com > Phnom Penh > Wat Phnom Sampeou Wat Phnom Sampeou is a significant tourist attraction because it houses caves where the Khmer Rouge executed people by various methods and threw them into the chasm cave shafts. Approximately ten thousand people died here. Later, bones were collected from the caves and placed in cabinets. Eventually, a temple was built on the hilltop as seen in the photo, becoming a tourist spot in Phnom Penh. This site is one of the three destinations that tuk-tuks usually take visitors to.
Here, you need to buy an entrance ticket for 2 USD, which grants access to two places: Banan Temple and Wat Phnom Sampeou. To ascend, you must pay 4 USD for a motorcycle and guide; the driver and guide are the same person. Some guides speak Thai, so we choose one of them. They will take you to see the caves and then up to enjoy the view from the top. Afterwards, you can tip them a little. When descending, they will take you to eat at a restaurant they are affiliated with. The food is reasonably good. I had a buffet meal with the guide and tuk-tuk driver.
mr.hotsia December 2011 Phnom Sampeou means 'Ship Mountain' because its unique shape resembles a ship. This legendary 100-meter-high mountain, topped by Wat Sampeou, contains three natural caves lined with Buddhist shrines and statues: Pkasla, Lakhaon, and Aksopheak. Pkasla cave is filled with fallen stones and is important because the local people of Sampeou celebrate marriages there.
Some caves were used by the Khmer Rouge as killing caves. Skeletons of their victims still remain inside. The temple is reached by climbing 700 steps. The climb is not exceptional, but the view is spectacular. Next to Phnom Sampeou are several important mountain clusters.
