Wat Bo Tours and Activities

One of Siem Reap’s oldest temples, Wat Bo is known for its collection of well-preserved wall paintings from the late 19th century. Though Wat Bo is a Buddhist temple, these paintings depict the Reamker, which is Cambodia’s interpretation of the Ramayana—an epic Hindu story about the love between Rama and Shita, the strongest man and the most beautiful women of all time. There is also an impressive collection of Buddha statues.
It won’t take long to explore Wat Bo as it’s not that big of a temple. However, the paintings are well preserved and, in addition to illustrating the Reamker, the paintings also give insight into daily life in this area. A sharp eye might catch foreigners painted into the scenes, get an idea of what fashion looked like in those days and perhaps spot the likeness of French soldiers. It’s a quiet respite from the liveliness of Siem Reap and a nice break from the expansive temples of nearby Angkor Wat.
Practical Info
Wat Bo is located on the east side of Siem Reap River on the corner of Street 22 and Samdech Tep Vong and gives Wat Bo Area its name. Wat Bo is open to the public from sunrise to sunset and entry is free, though donations are appreciated.
Address: Corner of Street 22 and Samdech Tep Vong, Siem Reap, Cambodia
