Founded by King Ponyea Yat in the 15th century, Wat Botum is one of the original Wats in Phnom Penh. It is also one of the more important temples in town with many local dignitaries having been buried here over the years. The large green and yellow statues at the entrance to the wat represent a legendary snake or naga, which is said to inhabit a subterranean kingdom, and has the ability to change into human form.
