Wat Sampov Pram
វត្តសំពៅប្រាំ
A Buddhist temple on a cliff edge on Bokor Mountain, named after five sailboat-shaped boulders beside it. It overlooks the Gulf of Thailand and Phu Quoc Island.
Wat Sampov Pram was built in the 1920s on the southwest cliff of Bokor Mountain. Its name means “five sailboats,” after a legend linked to five sail-shaped boulders beside the temple. Monks still practice here. The main hall and surrounding small stupas look out over the Gulf of Thailand, and on clear days you can see Vietnam's Phu Quoc Island and the coastline. Entry is free. Shoes must be removed before entering the hall, and visitors should dress modestly, with shoulders and knees covered. It is the final stop on the one-day Bokor trip and is a good place to watch the sunset before heading back down.
