Silver Pagoda, also known as Wat Preah Keo Morokat or the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, stands within the Royal Palace complex in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. It is on Sothearos Boulevard, and it serves as the royal temple of the Cambodian monarchy.
What to see
- The Emerald Buddha, housed inside the temple.
- A floor of 5,000 silver tiles, which gives the pagoda its name.
The visit
Because the temple sits inside the Royal Palace grounds, a visit fits naturally alongside the palace itself. It suits travellers interested in Cambodian royal traditions and Buddhist sites, and it makes a calm stop in the middle of a busy capital. Plan your time around the complex as a whole rather than the temple alone.
