Stroke Lion's Penis for Good Luck at Poipet Border Crossing
Touching lion penis at the border gate in Poi Pet brings luck and safety
By Souy Sopheap.
Mr. Soy Sopheap, advisor to Prime Minister HE, publisher of Deum Ampil newspaper and owner of Deum Ampil Radio
Banteay Meanchey : According to Dap News, on 27 September 2015, I went to poi pet border gate in poi pet city, Banteay Meanchey province. Within about 2 hours, I went to a market in Sras Keo province, Thailand, to see how Cambodians earn living there and also to see the tourism.
What I was really interested in was, around 6:00 am in the morning, I was standing in front of a lion statue. It was covered all by flowers and there was a jar underneath it where people could place their incense. That lion statue was built next to the foot of poi pet border gate. I saw some people stooped over next to that lion and then they went to touch the lion's penis and their mouths were moving. It seemed like they were praying for luck and safety and good business.
After a man left that had touched and felt the penis of the lion, I went over and did the same. I didn’t manage to ask anyone whether they came here and did it to wish for luck, safety and good business, as everyone seemed to be really busy and rushing. After that there were more and more people who came to touch the lion penis and then one of my friends went to touch the lion penis too.
He said, touching the penis of lion is a sign of praying and asking for safety when you are travelling. I went closer to the lion again and took some pictures. I have noticed that the penis of the lion is really smooth and there are a lot of flowers on it. Since, it was really early, so I couldn’t contact any officers to ask about this belief.

The bull statues outside Tuol Tom Pong pagoda have big dicks too.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
