| General Information
|
The name of Prey Veng Province means "Long Forests". This province a small but heavily populated agricultural province nestled on the east bank of the Mekong. The total land area is about 4,883 km² that equal to 2.70% of the total land area of Cambodia (181,035 km2), which consisting of 445.18 km2
or 9.12% are human settlements, 3,100 km2 63.49% are agriculture land areas, 194.61 km2
or 3.99% are forest areas, 1,082.86 km2 or 22.18% are public land, infrastructures and water bodies, and the remaining 60.35 km2 or 1.24 % are non used areas.
Rubber played a large part in the Prey Veng's prewar economy, but most of the plantations are no longer commercially viable. There is little of significance to be seen in the province today, but it may have played a significant role in Cambodian history, as one of the earliest pre-Angkorian kingdoms was located in the area around Ba Phnom. This province has experienced few visitors and the road network does not serve to encourage more. The provincial capital is hidden away on road No 11, a broken road that is regularly inundated in the wet season.

GETTING IN - OUT
PREY VENG PROVINCE |
* Bus: The town of Prey Veng is 90km east of Phnom Penh and 78km south of Kompong Cham. Normally, the easiest way to get here from the capital is to take an air-con Ho Wah Genting bus from Psar Thmei to Neak Luong, cross on the ferry as a foot passenger and arrange a seat in a share taxi to Prey Veng.
* Taxi: Minibuses and share taxi operate between Prey Veng and Kompong Cham for about 4000r and 6000r respectively.
* Motorbike: This is reasonably straight forward in the dry season, but should only be undertaken by experienced riders in the wet season. The road from Neak Luong to Prey Veng is in poor condition, while the road from Prey Veng to Kompong Cham can get pretty messy through the rubber plantations.
* Boat: During the wet season, the fast boat (two hours) run between Prey Veng and Phnom Penh. But you need to check the departure times the day before, as the schedule changes. |
