The basics

Although the imagery in the temple is of Hindu origin, Wat Bo is a Buddhist temple and features a large collection of Buddha statues as a result. Still, the paintings are the big draw, and if you aren't familiar with the tale they depict, a guide can help you out. The temple is a major stop on many Siem Reap tours as well as on multi-day tours across Cambodia.

When to get there

The temple is open daily from sunrise to sunset. It's wise to go first thing in the morning, as that's when most visitors to Siem Reap will be busy visiting the Angkor Archaeological Park so you'll have Wat Bo more to yourself.
