Kompong Thom Province

An easy stopover when travelling overland between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, Kompong Thom Province is drawing more visitors thanks to several unique sites near the provincial capital, Kompong Thom including the pre-Angkorian Temple of Sombor Prei Kuk and the extraordinary hilltop shrines of Phnom Santuk. The most noteworthy geographical feature in the province is Stung Sen, Cambodia's second-longest river, which eventually flows into Tonle Sap River .
   Kompong Thom came under US bombardment in the early 1970s in an effort to reopen the
Phnom Penh-Siem Reap road severed by the Khmer Rouge.
