Temple angst misplaced

Bangkok Post

|

July 02, 2025

Once again, Phu Man Fah temple is dominating headlines as Cambodia has vented its anger about a construction project at the monastery, smearing it as an "Angkor Wat replica".

The project, Siha Nakhon, comprises three tall cone-shaped towers. It is surrounded by buildings representing several art styles, forming part of the monastery, which covers over 200 rai in Buri Ram's Nang Rong district.

On June 20, Cambodia's Culture and Fine Arts Minister Phoeurng Sackona slammed the Buri Ram temple. She alleged the project "affects the universal value of the Angkor archaeological site and the Khmer cultural identity", adding it "has demonstrated a significant lack of ethics regarding heritage, thereby compromising the Khmer culture's soul and original state".

The minister aired her claims during the 40th technical session of the International Coordinating Committee on Safeguarding and Development of Historical Sites of Angkor and Sambor Prei Kuk, or ICC-Angkor/Sambor Prei Kuk, held in Siem Reap.
