Just a nap in a restful and truly colourful place

The mountain of Phnom Sampov/Sampeau, “Ship Mountain”, outside Battambang is a collection of beautiful temples and monasteries in several variations. Located in several places in the mountains.

Add the many large caves, and Phnom Sampov represents a lot of Cambodian history, culture and nature. From the mythical parts to the more modern demanding.

In the east area of the mountain, a pagoda and stupa complex are surrounding the monastery at Wat Sampeou. From there it is several outlooks with a fantastic view to the surrounding Cambodian countryside.

And as the day even here gets hot, the smart one gets some rest. Surrounded by the paintings of the cultural heritage Cambodia is known for.

Photo shows a green hammock hanging between some colourful pillars. From the hammock a couple of feet tells of an occupant. A couple of yellow slippers under the hammock of the type used in Buddhist monasteries informs of the occupant’s duties. In the background there is a room with walls on three sides, all painted with religious stories from one-third up the wall. The lowest part of the wall is light green. A large windows opening in the centre of the wall is closed by doors designed as a lotus in deep, green colours. A clothing of sort hangs on the windows handle. Some deep red carpets are rolled together and placed alongside the wall. The floor is lightly cobalt blue.
