Opposite The Pavilion Inn, Wat Botum Vaddey Monastery is one of the oldest in Phnom Phen. It houses the graves of many personalities, hence its interest. Visitation is free.

In the evenings, this area becomes a center for young people. There is a very lively but also relaxed atmosphere here, which is bearable even if you are not taking part in any activities. The surroundings are a delight and if you find a nice place to sit, time really flies by.
The type of development here is a bit annoying. Recently, a series of 'tall buildings' have been built here (and more are being built!), which tower over the actually very friendly ambience of the park and simply 'flatten' it.
One of the memorials here is the Cambodian-Vietnamese Friendship Monument. Here you can find two soldiers of the Vietnamese army who marched in here in January 1979 and drove the Khmer Rouge out of the city. A Cambodian woman welcomes the two liberators. If you continue from the north, you will soon reach a wide, square-like structure, which is actually a very wide street with lots of greenery between the lanes. You should turn right here.
Here you have a clear view of two more memorials, which are located in the green area in the middle.
The most impressive is the Independence Monument. It was built in 1962 by Molyvan, a student of Le Corbusier (he was Cambodian). Using the architecture of the Angkor period, he created a memorial to the independence gained in 1953 from the long-standing colonial power France. This building also commemorates the soldiers who fell in these past wars.
Also worth mentioning is the monument to Norodom Sihanouk, one of the most colorful people in the country. Sihanouk was a politician who held various offices, including those of the state. With French protection, he even rose to the rank of king in 1941. In 1955 he was forced to abdicate and after the turbulence that followed he was even temporarily imprisoned by the Khmer Rouge. After the Khmer Rouge were expelled, his life continued to be turbulent and he managed to become head of state in 1991. In the elections that followed, he became king of the newly founded monarchy. He resigned from this office in 2004 and finally died in 2012 (in Beijing!).
It should also be noted that Sihanouk played an important role in other fields. He was a filmmaker, songwriter, author and had a very extravagant lifestyle. He left behind 13 children, whom he had with 6 women.

LIt's well maintained and cared for, albeit I'm confused why the bird statue needs to have a tent attached to it...
Interesting fountains, though not all appear working.
Super convenient public bathrooms

Wat Botum Park, Phnom Penh
In front of Wat Botum lies Wat Botum Park bounded by street 268 to the south, street 7 to the west, Sothearos Blvd. to the east & street 240 to the north. On the north side of 240 is the Royal Palace.
Nice green park, well-kept & watered by the local authority. Popular with local people in the evening simply taking a stroll, playing ball games or just relaxing on the grass or sitting on the benches. To the north west, in the park, there is a children’s play area.
Walked through here several times & found the lovely decorative fountains turned on. Sadly, more often than not, they have been turned off.
I like that there are public toilets & ample wheelie bins around the park for trash.
What to see in the park:
Cambodia-Vietnam friendship monument
The Cambodia–Vietnam Friendship Monument, built in the late 1970s by the regime that took power after the Cambodian-Vietnamese War, that overthrew the Khmer Rouge regime. No shortage of information about this on the internet.
Democracy Monument
On the 30th March 1997 a grenade attack killed at least 16 people & injured countless others. Should you wish to learn more about this event, simply do a Google search.
You cannot miss the large gilt statue of Hang Meas, the sacred golden bird.
Leaving the park & walking north on Sothearos Blvd. St.3, go past the Royal Palace on your left & turn right on St.184. This is a very short walk to the river-front where you will find various restaurants & bars or you may simply prefer a leisurely walk along the waterfront where you can sit & enjoy the evening breeze.
I prefer this walk from about 4pm when it is cooler, making my way to the river about 6pm for beer & dinner ahead of a pleasant & relaxing evening.

Botum Park is located south of the Royal Palace & the Silver Pagoda and runs close to the Mekong River. We walked through Botum Park and was very surprised to see so many locals enjoying this wonderful spot. Playing different games and even a dance class. So nice to see. It is also the home of the Cambodia-Vietnamese Friendship Monument. There is also a lot of fun statues. Lots of local restaurants and shops close by. The Independence monument & the Statue of King Father Norodom Sihanouk statue are close by in Neak Banh Teuk Park. There is a little green space but this park is mostly made of concrete. It was very clean and well maintained. Lots of flower beds & some trees. We really enjoyed our time here. If you are in the neighborhood seeing some of the other sites or just have an free evening I would recommend slowing down the pass and taking a walk through this lovely park. We were there late one afternoon to mid evening. We felt safe the whole time. The locals were very friendly and flash lots of lovely smiles as you pass.

It has several monuments in it including the Cambodia-Vietnam Friendship Monument. Google that to get the story behind it and what happened in 1997.

Date of Visit : 14 Dec 2019
Entrance fee : free
We visited this park because we walked from Hotel Emion to Silver Pagoda via a small lane as guided by Google Map, this small lane opened up to Wat Botum Park. As it was sunny, there were plenty of photographic opportunities. We only knew that there was a lunch-time closure for Royal Palace but was unaware that Silver Pagoda also had “lunchtime closure”. Thus, we spent more time at Wat Botum Park and also chanced upon a good restaurant called Mer Khmek which was located opposite Wat Botum Park during the lunchtime break of Silver Pagoda.
The same night, we walked past this park and there were many locals dancing & exercising at this park.

Wat Botom park is relatively a large park maintained well with complete greenery cover through out the park. It holds Cambodia-Vietnam Friendship Monument and
Wat Botom Vatey Playground too. There is no entrance fee as it is open from all sides.
Saw that the "L shaped" greenery park starts behind the independence monument and houses the Statue of King Father Norodom Sihanouk too.

Our hotel was virtually facing the park, so managed to have a quiet walk around a couple of times. The center piece is the large friendship monument. Nice greenery, and flower beds, and clean paths. Plenty of seating around, and no vagrancy at all when we were there. Play park on one side for children. Also at the top end is the Golden Stupa, commemerating the 16 who died in a terror attack in 1997

This is a really nice, well-maintained park with a children’s play area and the Cambodia-Vietnam Friendship Monument.
Used as a meeting place for many locals, there’s games of football, card games and small groups of young people drinking responsibly, not causing any trouble.
I visited at night and there was no prostitution so I would say it’s ok to visit with young children.
