Site Size & Condition: Wat Wat Thma Krae (វត្តថ្មគ្រែ - Pronounced: Wot Thmor Krae) is an active Buddhist monastery with a location on the east bank of the Mekong River, just south of Sambor. The site houses a variety of features including riverside rocks with inscriptions, a neak ta shrine with round colonettes, and a fragment of Thala Borivat-style lintel on the ground near the main worshipping hall. 2 additional inscriptions (Kmer and Sanskrit) are also found in the wat. It's not clear if the artifacts were unearthed at this site or nearby.
