What to expect
Wat Botum Park is a beautifully maintained green space in Phnom Penh, ideal for a relaxing stroll, playing ball games, or lounging on the grass. The park features decorative fountains and two historical monuments: the Cambodia-Vietnam Friendship Monument and the Democracy Monument. Visitors can also explore the nearby Wat Botum, a Khmer Buddhist pagoda built by King Ponhea Yat in the 15th century. The pagoda is one of the five oldest in Phnom Penh and is officially named Wat Botum Vatey Reachavararam, meaning 'the temple of the king with a lotus flower as a fence.' The park and pagoda offer a peaceful and serene atmosphere, making it a great place to visit with family and friends
