Wat Prayuvong

About Wat Prayuvong

This small wat is hidden away to the east of Norodom Boulevard, about a five-minute walk from the Independence Monument. The wat is not signposted in English, but keep an eye out for the spirit houses lining Norodom and head down the nearby alley where industrious workers are making concrete Buddhas -- not a great spot for gift-buying unless you're looking for a 10-foot-long reclining one for someone special. The wat itself is a plain affair.
