Also known as Wat Indrisamvora, a high wall hides much of it from street level view, though it is definitely worth a peek inside.
There’s a large collection of very gaudy statues depicting scenes from Buddhist mythology scattered around the grounds and a large bright yellow main worshipping hall, but some of the associated temple buildings such as the library are the most spectacular, displaying such elaborate architecture you’d think the designers had employed Gaudi himself as a consultant.
The eponymously named Wat Kompong Thom is the largest in town.
Wat Kampong Thom, also known as Wat Indrisamavora, is located in Kdei village, Preykahu commune, Stung Sen district, about 1 kilometer from the provincial town. This old temple is a holy place that covers 2,053 square meters. Statues related to the Buddha story can be found in the pagoda. The pagoda fences are painted in many different colors and styles. The pagoda offers a cool place for visitors to relax, especially during festivals.
The temple dates from the 17th century, though much of what you see is obviously of more recent date. It won’t hold your attention for more than a few minutes, but you’ll get a couple of great photos out of a visit, and its location a short distance after the bridge in the direction of Siem Reap means it’s also on the way to the town’s museum.
