This pier serves as a departure point for local boats, offering an authentic glimpse into traditional livelihoods along Cambodia’s southern coast.
Next, visit the peaceful Wat Krom, a notable Buddhist pagoda on a hilltop with stunning views of the sea. See the large reclining Buddha and other shrines. Beyond being a place of worship, it is a cultural landmark, drawing visitors with its peaceful atmosphere and architectural charm. Inside the pagoda, experience a blessing ceremony. The monk will pray, wishing you happiness, good luck, and prosperity.
