During the last ten years of his life, he lived in Phnom Penh, producing some of his most famous works, including a lengthy ethical treatise, the Gatilok, a ten-volume collection of folktales from Buddhist stories. Prior to arriving in the colonial capital, he lived in Battambang, both before and after its retrocession from Siam to French Indochina in 1907. His most famous poem is “Journey to Angkor Wat.”
