Phnom Sambok lies about 11 km north of Kratie along the road to Kampi. The hill is home to an active temple and meditation center. Climbing the hundreds of steps, you pass colorful sculptures and murals depicting the punishments of Buddhist hell, which are quite striking. The temple at the summit overlooks the Mekong and the riverside plains, and the view is best at sunset. Entry is free. When entering the temple, wear clothing that covers the knees and remove your shoes. In the evening, the visit can be paired with dolphin watching at Kampi.
