Kampong Cham is
the third largest city in Cambodia, but has yet to be
heavily touristed like Phnom Penh or Siem Reap. It carries
with it plenty of colonial French charm, and has a genuine
"wild west" feel to it.
Kampong Cham is
a port city on the banks of the Mekong River about 50
kilometres north of Phnom penh. Close to the town is the
temple complex of Wat Nokor, a well preserved example of
13th century Khmer architecture. Also, close to the town are
mass graves of thousands of victims of the Khmer Rouge
atrocities. |
