A giant statue of Ta Dambong welcomes us into the city

The word bat in khmer means to disappear and dambong means stick. As the story goes, a cowherd who tended cows, had a stick which was magical. The cowherd could throw the stick at his herd and control his flock. For this he was called Ta Dambong or the uncle with the stick. Ta Dambong used to tie his cows on the bank of the river for grazing.
