PHNOM SON TUK RESORT:
... On the mountain, there is a pagoda named wat kiri Chom Chong Phnom Son Tuk having 18 monks, 16 nuns, two wise men and one head of the pagoda named Sok Nang who is the initiator in building the pagoda. Along either sides of the stair stretching up the mountain, there are big trees written names clearly. When climbing up the mountain of Son Tuk, tourists usually encounter four interesting places such as: At 230th step of the stair, there are an access to the rock valley and a well. At 455th step of the stair, there is a resting hall with Buddhist statue at the left. At 620th step of the stair, there are big rocks and big trees projecting cool shadow. At 694th step of the stair, there is a spot, at the right hand side, full of big rock, called Chan Re. On the rock, there is a slit having five-centimeter width, three-meter length and un-estimated depth.
We can go from Chan Re to a new building pagoda having 16-square meter area by the old stair or new stair. At North of the pagoda, there is a worshipping hall made of stone and has red-tile roof, ground spreaded by ceramic tile, wall decorated by the Khmer architectural style and 144-square meter area. Behind the pagoda there is a Chinese temple facing to the East and has five peaks where the biggest peak at the middle is keeping the statue of Preah Neang Kung Si Im. At the pagoda, there are 05 statues of Buddhist, who had achieved nirvana, and many other small statues in total of 99 statues. In front of the pagoda, we have seen many statues such as Preah Bat Choan Tuk, Dos Kro Mom of Mother Chan Re located at Chan Ruot and Ey Sey Ak Ki Net in red color who is worshipped and respected by our people.
