1. he Best Things to See at Wat Preah Prom Rath Temple 1. Stunning Architecture and Peaceful Grounds Wat Preah Prom Rath blends classic Khmer and modern Buddhist architecture, featuring vibrant murals, golden stupas, intricate carvings, and colorful statues of Buddha and mythical beings. The ornately decorated main hall (vihara) is one of the most photogenic in the city. 2. The Reclining Buddha and Unique Boat Sculpture One of the temple’s most unique features is a giant reclining Buddha statue located inside a separate hall — a peaceful place for quiet reflection. Just outside, there’s a large sculpted boat, which depicts the legend of the monk Prom Rath who supposedly built a boat from a magical log to rescue a stranded crew. This gives the temple both its name and its mythological importance. 3. Detailed Murals Telling Buddhist Stories Inside the temple halls, you'll find vivid murals depicting stories from the life of the Buddha, scenes from the Ramayana, and local legends.
