Wat Preah Vihear Khpos
Wat Preah Vihear Khpos (វត្តព្រះវិហារខ្ពស់), formally វត្តបទុមពោធិរាជ, is a Buddhist Wat in Kampong Svay commune, Kampong Svay district, Kampong Thom province.[1]
History
The site is old. It was long a forest ashram where villagers gathered once a year to make merit, and the ashram was destroyed under the Khmer Rouge regime. It was reestablished in 1990 by its abbot, achar (អាចារ្យ, lay ritual leaders), committee and local authorities.[1]
Religious life
As of 2025, the abbot was Preah Kru Muniyasavant Um Dara. On February 12, 2025, at a bon phka prak (បុណ្យផ្កាប្រាក់), a festival that collects donations, in Chong Prey village, he invited the public to the four-day ceremony placing the Wat's sima (សីមា), the boundary stones of the ordination hall, on March 21 to 24, 2025.[1]
