Takeo Province

Often referred to as the cradle of Cambodian civilisation; Takeo Province was part of what Chinese annals called 'water Chenla; no doubt a reference to the extensive annual floods that still blanket much of the area. Today this impoverished rural province is a backwater that gets few tourists. Those who do make it here get some of Cambodia's most ancient and fascinating temples virtually to themselves.
   The temples of Tonle Bati and Phnom Chisor lie in Takeo but are usually visited as day trips from Phnom Penh, hence they are covered in 'Around Phnom Penh'.
