PHNOM TAMAO MONASTERY
Located in Takeo, a pagoda dedicated to the Preah Koh and Preah Keo deities.
The pagoda on the north side is dedicated to the deities Preah Koh and Preah Keo, the other two pagodas are of no interest except for a bas-relief of remarkable workmanship representing the king Preah Thong Neang Neak lying on a dragon and wearing a naga. The other bas-reliefs were destroyed under Pol Pot. 100 m further north is Phnom Thmoch Doch (the Growing Rock): it is a monolith whose linga shape incited the Brahmanists to build a brick sanctuary, which was unfortunately ransacked by the Khmer Rouge.
