Wat Leu - Sihanouk Ville

Wat Leu overlooks the town of Sihanouk Ville from the top of Sihanouk Ville Mountain - you get a great panoramic view from the top.


 This Wat has a lot of monkeys living in and around it


 View out over Sihanouk Ville and the sea
 A lot of the older Wats are in a state of repair - after being left to rot during the Khmer Rouge times - these are some of the tiles that are being saved and using to re-roof the wat.
 Amazing roof - I have to say this is one of the most well kept and beautiful Wats - it hasn't been destroyed by lots of naff statues of fruit or concrete buildings.




I love these elephants coming out of the wall..

This is where the monks are - they even have lovely orange umbrellas...

Our mode of transport for the day...
