This pagoda has a beautiful architectural style and is situated on a campus of over 2 hectares of green trees including Sao (star trees) and Dau (oil trees). It has long been the habitat and breeding ground of thousands of birds of all kinds.
The monks here lead their religious life, study, listen and chant prayers, as well as look after a bonsai garden with thousands of ancient trees which are painstakingly trimmed into sophisticated shapes.
They also directly take part in producing fine-art handicrafts of wood sculpture. Their products are full of the character of the Khmer’s culture.
Kompong Chray Pagoda always remains a good hallmark on the heart of visitors whenever they have a chance to be here.
