Lok Yeay Mao Statue
លោកយាយម៉ៅ
A giant seated statue of the Khmer guardian goddess beside the Bokor Mountain road, regarded by locals as the protector of travelers and fishermen.
Lok Yeay Mao is a goddess in the folk beliefs of Cambodia's southwest coast, seen as the guardian of travelers, hunters and fishermen. Halfway up the Bokor road stands a giant seated statue several stories tall, built in the 2010s, with offering platforms and viewing terraces overlooking the forest and coastline below. Most visitors stop here on the way up to take photos, and locals light incense here to pray for safety. Entry is free.
