Kampong Thom Essentials

Kampong Thom serves as the primary base for exploring Sambor Prei Kuk, a UNESCO World Heritage site containing over 100 pre-Angkorian brick temples from the 7th-century Chenla Kingdom. The region is defined by its architectural transition from Indian-inspired designs to the Khmer style. In the provincial capital, the Steung Sen River landscape features a bustling central market, a museum housing regional artifacts, and a unique colony of giant fruit bats residing in the trees of the governor's residence. Traditional silk weaving remains a core local industry in the surrounding villages.
