Phnom Santuk — Attraction in Kampong Thom

$2 per tourist entrance fee. Khmer people pay way less. You will get given a ticket on entrance which says $2, and many other cute English errors. 😍

Ironically, it also says on the ticket 'clean our country' and I think it's more of a request than anything because there is A LOT of rubbish around and much thrown off the edge of the rocks.

There are monkeys there and they will come take the bottle of water (or phone) right out of your hand. I don't think they are putting the bottle in the bun afterwards....

There are areas to by drinks at the bottom, near the top and top top. 809 stairs and some sections VERY steep and slippery. Great view tho!

You could get driven up to the top for a small fee too if that was of interest.

The Temples at the top were pretty. One had a floating rock in it...it claimed to be 12kg and it floats!!

Fun little visit! Saw black...

Outstanding place, little mountain! Went there on a foggy day, the entrance gate suggested a mysterious feeling. Payed 2$ entrance fee, then you have the choice to drive up the mountain or choose a long stairway through a thick and wet jungle. Just great. Arriving on the top, there are several newer temples/wats, some of them are kind of a cover for buddhas which are carved in the rocks. It's a quite a big place, look around and follow every path. I took a small path in to the right direction which leads you through rock formations and suddenly there are some buddhas again. No problem to spend...

Drove up on the small mountain on a mid afternoon and was not disappointed. Gorgeous collection of pagodas perched on cliffs with varying design elements. There's a Chinese style pagoda, several modern Khmer temples as well as sacred stone altars and a reclining Buddha statuary.

There's also an ancient well and a monument to a monk it seems. There are hundreds of monkeys around but the views are what you come up here for. There are friendly locals around offering to guide you around, so prepare a few dollars for a tip. Entrance is only 1000 riels which is equivalent to .25...
