Here you can meet the monks and even receive a blessing!
The half day tour will take us to Wat Bo (one of the oldest working temples in Siem Reap) where you will have an opportunity to look inside and see the wall paintings, then walk around the temple grounds, taking memorable [photographs]. We shall then visit the city’s most venerated shrines, Preah Ang Chek and Preah Ang Chom. From there we head to Wat Thmey, home of the city’s Killing Fields shrine to learn something of Cambodia’s recent history, and receive a water blessing. We end our trip with a visit to a street food stall for snacks.
