The pool
A leafy saltwater pool inside a restored colonial residence in central Phnom Penh.
Palace Gate occupies a former royal residence on the Tonle Sap riverside in Phnom Penh — a low cluster of cream-coloured villas around a central garden. The saltwater pool sits at the heart of the property, shaded by frangipani and old mango trees.
Step out of the city's heat and into this courtyard and the temperature drops by ten degrees, instantly.
