Buddhas, Buddhas and more Buddhas!


The town of Kompong Thom is well-known for it's Buddha sculptures. People come here from all over Cambodia to purchase their very own Buddha. Temples also make commissions for statuary.


A trip through the village is definitely worthwhile as you'll see Buddhas of all shapes and sizes and in different stages of completion.


If you're lucky, you might even get to see a sculptor at work! Photos taken in December 2016.

  2. I have a friend who loves Buddhas in all shapes and sizes. She has them in her garden and inside her house. She would love this place.
