Cambodian King Funeral Monument

Cambodia Udong Mountain: Cambodian King funeral monument. There are many funeral monument on Udong Mountain and the decorate of each funeral monument is different. With this decoration when you look from the far place, this one is the most interesting but after you can see it close to other funeral monument, you will other funeral monument with decoration from glasses. And letter on each funeral monument, some I can read but some I also can't read. It seem like the Pali language.

Oh! last time when I visited there with my co-worker, they are foreigner so we guide them with some history of this place and when we arrive and small pagoda on the mountain we saw Buddha sit with snake with 8 heads behinds him; at this point they asked us about history and we describe that snake with 8 heads come to protect Buddha from anything, it's like umbrella for Buddha when the sun is sunny and also when there are raining come. But at that time, Cambodian people who come visited those place too when they heard that they laugh and they said snake with 8 heads become umbrella. In my thinking, I was wondering that they laugh because we said wrong story or they did not listen to us well. Naturally, by looking at their clothing and appearance look like they did not know English well that why made them confuse what we are mention about history.
