Kuhanokor Wat and School

by AlbuqRay

Prasat Kuhanokor is located within the grounds of an active wat and school. One of the teachers and some of his students came over to greet us (we were the only visitors at the site). There is a sign showing where to turn to Prasat Kuhanokor on NH6. It is about 2 km through a village to get there.

Prasat Kuhanokor is a small 11th-century Khmer temple on the grounds of an active wat and school. There is no admission but there is a donation box. The site has been completely restored. It is only ~2 km west of NH6 and an easy stop on the way to Kampong Thom from Phnom Penh. A walking tour can be done in about 30 minutes.

Atsu Village and School

by AlbuqRay

On the access road between NH64 and Sambor Prei Kuk, you will pass Atsu village and school. They are a memorial to Atsuhito Nakata, a UN volunteer, who was killed on 8 April 1993 with Lay Sopheap supposedly by Khmer Rouge guerrillas. His family founded a school for children in the place where he was assassinated.
