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.

Conveniently set along National Highway 6, 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 that are carved along the mountain range.
