Wat Pipuhd (aka Wat Piputiram) is located to the north of Psar Nat market, around which monks from the temple can be seen collecting alms in the early morning hours.
The temple is one of the oldest in the city and features tranquil, shady grounds, though the temple lacks notable features for the typical visitor.
This peaceful pagoda is a great spot for those interested in exploring traditional Khmer architecture and local religious practices. The temple’s intricate carvings and beautiful murals offer a glimpse into Cambodia’s rich Buddhist heritage.
Though it may not be as grand as some of the more famous temples, Wat Pipuhd has a tranquil, spiritual atmosphere, making it an ideal place for quiet reflection. Visitors can often see monks going about their daily rituals, adding to the authenticity of the experience.
