Kompong Cham Province

Kompong Cham Province draws a growing number of visitor thanks to its role as a gateway to the northeast. Attractions include several pre-Angkorian and Angkorian temples, as well as some at-mospheric river bank rides for cyclists and motorbikers.The provincial capital offers an accessible slice of the real Cambodia, a land of picturesque villages, pretty wats and fishing communities.
   The most heavily populated province in Cambodia, Kompong Cham has supplied a steady stream of Cambodia's current political heavyweights, including Prime Minister Hun Sen
and senate head Chea Sim, Most Kompong Cham residents enjoy quieter lives, living off the land or fishing along the Mekong River. Rubber was the major prewar industry and there are huge plantations stretching eastwards from the Mekong. Some of Cambodia's finest silk is also produced in this Province and most of the country's Kranmas(scarves) originate here.
