KAMPONG THOM OVERVIEW
Kampong Thom is a small town with sleepy colonial buildings, located on the bank of the Stoeung Sen River. It is the capital of Kampong Thom province, one of the five provinces surrounding the Tonle Sab lake. On the road from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap, it serves as a lunch stop for travellers from the Cambodian capital to the site of the Angkor temples. Kampong Thom is the base for excursions to the important archaeological site of Sambor Prei Kuk, the ancient capital of Chenla. Just 35 km away from the city, this site can only be reached by travelling down an unpaved road. Approximately 170 temples from the pre-Angkorian period (7th century) can be found here surrounded by lush forest. The other tourist attractions are the mountain Phnom Santuk, Prasat Kuh Nokor temple ruins, the 11th century Prasat Kok Rokar temple, the temples Prasat Phum Prasat and Prasat Andet, the natural and cultural site of Prey Pros and the bird sanctuary of Boeung Tonle Chmar.
