Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda
Since King Norodom is still in residence at Phnom Penh’s royal palace, it is rarely open to the public. However you can go and see the Silver Pagoda and some of the surrounding ceremonial buildings.
You can even get guides to walk you around the Silver Pagoda while explaining its history and origins. The Silver Pagoda got its name because it’s floor is covered with in excess of 5,000 silver tiles weighing 1 kilogram each. The interior is decorated in many priceless jewels and gold, and really is a sight to behold. This is one thing not to be missed.
