In reality, there are already over 20,000 Buddha statues - out of the planned 84,000! 2,000 gold-plated Buddhas alone line the 199 steps to the 10-meter statue that towers over the one below in the Puth Kiri Pagoda, while thousands of other Buddhas meditate.

Fabulous & insighful tour
The guide Mr Tokk was very knowledgeable & shared alot of information about the culture of cambodia & buddism. His experiences shared was valuable & insighful. Even at the wildlife sanctuary he explained about the animals. We recommend his expertise to all tourists. The driver was also patient and waited for us at each location.

A great day away from the hustle and bustle of Phnom Phen.
We had a very nice day today with Leanni exploring the Cambodian countryside and going to the temple at Tonle Bati, the Phnom Tamoa Wildlife Rescue Centre to see some of the endangered wildlife of Cambodia and ending with the Buddha Kiri and climbing the 100 or steps to see over the 48,000 golden Buddha statues. There is a fair amount of driving, thankfully, in an air-conditioned van, with ample time at each stop. We chose not to stop for lunch so we were back by 3 PM but we did stop a few times for restroom breaks and opportunities to buy cold beers and snacks. The driver was very experienced in manoeuvring through the traffic and Leanni is very knowledgable I was able to answer all our questions. My suggestion if you go is that you wear shoes with socks as you have to take your shoes off to climb the steps and the concrete is very hot. Even with socks we had to keep moving.

Best One Day Tour EVER!
This was a perfect one day tour, a great introduction to Cambodia! Our guide, Tokk, was fabulous. He had a wealth of knowledge of Khmer culture and history, animal conservation, architecture, Buddhism, and almost anything else we asked. Phnom Tamoa Wildlife Rescue Center was incredible. We fed Lao elephants, saw other endangered animals and learned about conservation efforts. It’s a beautiful facility and the animals are well cared for. The gibbons are hilarious with their calls back and forth, so enthusiastic that even the jackals answered! Lunch was at a real local roadside restaurant. There was grilled fish, grilled corn, grilled frog, and fresh coconut water. Then Putkiri Pagoda with 84,000 Buddhas was a visual feast. We climbed the 100 steps then fed koi and catfish. The finale were the ruins from the 12th century. Ta Prohm Tonie Bati Temple is protected by the monks who live there. You look at these sandstone carvings knowing they are 900 year old depictions of a royal family, Buddha, disciples, and Hindu images. It’s really a taste of what’s to come at Ankor Wat.

Can only recommend this trip
I had an absolutely wonderful time on this trip! The wildlife center was truly amazing—such a unique and memorable experience. The temples we visited were breathtaking, each one more beautiful and fascinating than the last. The history and architecture left a lasting impression. A special shout-out to my guide, Tokk. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help. His passion and expertise made the trip even more special. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Phnom Tamoa Wildlife Rescue Center, Buddha Kiri Cambodia Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phnom Penh.
How much does Phnom Tamoa Wildlife Rescue Center, Buddha Kiri Cambodia Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Phnom Penh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Phnom Tamoa Wildlife Rescue Center, Buddha Kiri Cambodia Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Phnom Penh is not rushed.
Is Phnom Tamoa Wildlife Rescue Center, Buddha Kiri Cambodia Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Phnom Penh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Phnom Tamoa Wildlife Rescue Center, Buddha Kiri Cambodia Day Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Phnom Tamoa Wildlife Rescue Center, Buddha Kiri Cambodia Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Phnom Tamoa Wildlife Rescue Center, Buddha Kiri Cambodia Day Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Phnom Penh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Phnom Penh and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Phnom Tamoa Wildlife Rescue Center, Buddha Kiri Cambodia Day Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Phnom Penh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Phnom Penh?
+
On Outty we rank every Phnom Penh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half Day Tuol Sleng S21 and Choeung Ek Killing Field Tour, The Killing Field and Toul Sleng Genocide Museum (S21) Tour, Killing field and Toul Sleng genocide museum Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Phnom Penh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Phnom Penh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
