Sambor Town for a nice ride through the
countryside hugging the Mekong River, you can head north past Phnom Sambok and
past the dolphin site. About 24 km from the Globe circle, you come to a fork in
the road. The road to the right goes to Stung Treng, but you want to follow the
road to the left. This is the better of the two roads and the one that hugs the
river to Sambor town, another 11 km away. Stay left at the fork as you near the
town and you wind your way to Wat Sambor, located near the river. The front
temple is fairly new, with a one hundred-year-old temple just beyond the rear of
that temple. The town is pleasant and food, drinks, and fuel are available. As
for the ruins shown on the official Cambodia map (south of Sambor), there is
nothing left of them any more. Just one good- luck stone is all that the locals
saved, putting it in a thatched temple hut a kilometer off the road. Wat Sray
Sahn-tah-rah-boh It’s a big name for a small temple on the river road.
