Kampot sea horse in Cambodia Khmer

The Kampot Seahorse Statue dominates the coastal town's waterfront. Crafted from gleaming bronze, the eight-meter sculpture depicts the graceful creature with water majestically spraying from its mouth. Surrounded by colorful lights at night, it's a beacon of pride for locals, who affectionately call it "Singapot" – a playful reference to Singapore's Merlion. The seahorse symbolizes the abundance of Kampot's marine life and is seen as a bringer of good fortune. It has become a beloved landmark, a vibrant hub where tourists snap photos and children play beneath its shimmering water spray.
