Wat Chey Oudom

Also recorded as Wat Moha Reach Than and Wat Kuk, it is a contemporary monastery and pagoda located on the eastern foothill of Oudong Mountain in Kandal Province.

The site features a large collection of remnants that are possibly from the vihara (Buddhist Terrace) of the 16th-18th century that preceded the pagoda we see today, along with several smaller shrines and chedi.
