Kampong Thom Province sits at the very heart of Cambodia -geographically, historically and spiritually -and reveals a depth of ancient civilization that predates even the magnificent temples of Angkor by nearly five centuries. Home to Sambor Prei Kuk Cambodia’s oldest major temple complex and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2017 -Kampong Thom is where the extraordinary story of Cambodian civilization truly begins. Beyond the ancient temples, the province offers the most authentic and genuine Cambodian provincial life imaginable -the beautiful Stung Sen River winding through the town, vast rice paddies stretching to every horizon, extraordinary wildlife habitats, the legendary Giant Ibis sanctuary of Tmat Bouy and the warm unhurried rhythm of a riverside community that has been living alongside these ancient ruins for generations. This is Cambodia before the crowds. Cambodia before the tourist trail. Cambodia at its most honest, most beautiful and most deeply rewarding.
