Stupa and Silver Pagoda - Royal Palace, Phnom Penh

We had read in our guide that the Silver Pagoda had a floor made with 5000 silver tiles totaling more than 5 tons of silver.  Unfortunately, most of this was covered with carpets to protect it.  Although the statues and jewels on display were impressive, we preferred the smaller, more functional temples with less elaborate displays, where people were actively praying.
