Introducing Prey Veng
Few travellers make it to Prey Veng, a sleepy backwater between Neak Luong and Kompong Cham. Not a lot happens here and most of the population is tucked up in bed by 9pm. But for those who want to escape their fellow tourists, it offers an alternative route between Phnom Penh and Kompong Cham.

There are a few decaying colonial structures around town, attesting to a once-important centre. During most of the year a vast lake marks the western edge of town, but from March to August this evaporates and the local farmers cultivate rice.
