Any nice sparkling treasure inside the Silver Pagoda in Phnom Penh? I like to admire expensive stuff.(give a different answer) .
You're on the right track, then! The Silver Pagoda, the only part of the Royal Palace accessible to visitors, houses a life-size Buddha made out of gold. Moreover, it's decorated with about 9,500 diamonds, the largest appreciated at 25 carats. Twinkling enough? ;) Add it has a 200 pound-weight. I guess the pagoda's Khmert art isn't so important anylonger.
