Wat Sambot is an often overlooked temple on the way to the boats that take you out to see the freshwater dolphins in the Mekong at Kratie. Three sets of stairs totalling over 300 steps take you to the topmost temple and some spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. Tucked away in a corner is a structure made for this man, whose bones have been cast in cement. The skeleton is the remains of a man who died nearby while hiding from Khmer Rouge. Apparently his angry spirit entered the body of a monkey who terrorized anyone who entered its turf. Offerings are made to appease his spirit and prayers are sent to heaven, asking him to be relieved of his suffering. Also see nun.html
