Tucked between the sprawling cities of Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, Kampong Thom is a sleepy town set on the banks of the Stung Sen River. This unassuming town offers easy access to a number of popular attractions spread across the province, including Sambo and Prey Kuk Temples a popular archaeological site located 25 kilometres northeast of Kampong Thom. A visit to Phnom Santuk Mountain is a must as this sacred mountain is a place of pilgrimage for many and is dotted with many Buddha statues, carved along the mountain range.
