Wat Rattanak

Located around 10km west of Kampong Cham city the contemporary monastery features an old library that was built by the French, at a guess, around 70 years ago. The village area here is quite beautiful, especially if following the trail from the nearby Wat Koh Roka. Under the Boddhi tree there is what appears to be a remnant of an ancient temple, so, there is more to know about the history of the site!
