Wat Hanchey Buddhist Monastery

After climbing a long path up the hill, Phany introduced us to two young monks. They chanted and answered questions. The youngest was twelve years old.

Some local boys snuck up behind and tickled their feet while they were chanting.

Buddhists cremate the dead, but others of Chinese heritage bury them.

Angels hold up the roof of the temple.

At the corners the supporters are half man and half bird.

One colourful bird flew from each corner. 

Shrines contain the ashes of the dead.
