TAKEO OVERVIEW
The town of Takeo is an easygoing place that possesses a fair amount of natural and manmade beauty. The natural beauty is in the scenic river and lake area that faces a pleasant town parkway. The low lying area seems to include much of the surrounding province area, which is probably why a kingdom that once had its heart here was referred to as Water Chenla. There seems to be water everywhere in the surrounding countryside during the rainy season. This eponymous provincial capital, is best used as a base to visit the old temples in the Angkor Borei area, although given that they can be seen in a day trip from Phnom Penh, there is no compelling reason to stay here. The Takeo Town lacks the charm of some of the other provincial capitals, as it has less of a French legacy then elsewhere around the country, but it is a convenient stop when traveling between Phnom Penh and Kampot. During the wet season, it becomes a pleasant lakeside town, as much of the surrounding countryside yields to water.
