Many tourists might miss Kampong Cham as it is one of Cambodia’s lesser-known destinations. Quietly lying by the banks of the Mekong River, Kampong Cham boasts a charming setting filled with its traditional villages, ancient temples and vibrant markets. For those who appreciate culture, this destination will give a deep insight into Khmer culture and way of life!

Do you know Kampong Cham’s name means “Cham port” in Khmer language? It’s because Kampong Cham is associated with the mighty Mekong River flowing through this land, where the locals mainly live on farming and fishing. An attractive destination in Kampong Cham that Absolute Asia Tours wants to recommend to you is Wat Nokor. Wat Nokor is a special temple, standing out for its use of black stone instead of red brick or sandstone like other temples in Cambodia.

For a thrilling experience, consider visiting the bamboo bridge that links the city to Koh Paen Island. Even though the bamboo bridge was replaced by a concrete bridge, the locals has built a smaller bamboo one to attract curious visitors. This is a great moment to immerse yourself in local life – and take some astonishing photos of the picturesque countryside!

There are many more hidden gems to discover here, and Absolute Asia Tours will guide you through all the places to visit in Kampong Cham. Whether you’re in search of history or rural culture in Cambodia, Kampong Cham can offer a unique travel experience that balances serenity with adventure.
