Moha Montrei Pagoda is located south of the Olympic Stadium along Shianouk Blvd. While the grounds are not particularly large, it is a highly historic pagoda that was built in the 1960s with funding from former Prime Minister Lon Nol and designed by Mr. Moung Ses.

Upon entering the entrance, you will find Sala Chhan on the right, and further inside, the main hall (Vehear). Carvings adorn the pillars, walls, and ceilings throughout, making it clear at first glance that this pagoda is distinct from the ordinary. Inside the main hall, luxurious chandeliers illuminate the space. According to the monks, in the back on the right side facing the Buddha image, there is a very old painting from a bygone era.

Moha Montrei Pagoda is well worth a visit just to see the main hall.
