Khun Chhang Khun Phen - Koh Kong

Khun Chhang Khun Phen stupa sits on a stone amidst the ocean tributary, around 1 kilometer from the common town. The stupa is 4 meters high and made of cement. Since the site is little just 40 square meters, including the stupa-it can oblige just 10 to 15 guests at once. The stupa is around 1 kilometer from the commonplace town.

Koh Kong occupants revere there and frequently visit the site on national occasions and conventional celebrations. Khun Chhang Khun Phen is identified with a Khmer legend. Quite a long time ago, there was villager's girl named Thim, who was cherished by a man named Khun Chhang. Khun Chhang was strong headed and not extremely nice looking, but rather his family was rich.Thim, in any case, did not love Khun Chhang, they got to be distinctly drawn in and Khun Chhang wedded her.

She later deceived her significant other to love an officer named Khun Phen. At the point when Khun Chhang educated of his significant other's undertaking, he grumbled to the King. The King chose to cut Thim's body into two sections. After Thim kicked the bucket, Khun Chhang covered her at a similar place where she was executed. Since he needed her to be resurrected, Khun Chhang set up a spirit hail post on the east bank of the stream, confronting where Thim was covered. At that point he manufactured a stupa in memory of their adoration. Later, the west bank of the stream was named Chetdey (a stupa) town, and the east bank was named Dangtung (a flage shaft) town.
