PURSAT PROVINCE
Pursat Province, Cambodia's fourth-largest, stretches from the remote forests of Phnom
Samkos, on the Thai border, eastwards to the fishing villages and marshes of Tonlé Sap
lake. Famed for its oranges, it encompasses the northern reaches of the Cardamom Moun-
tains, linked with the town of Pursat by disreputable roads.

The provincial capital, known for its marble carvers, is no beauty, but makes a good base
for a day trip to the floating village of Kompong Luong or an expedition into the wilds of
the Central Cardamoms Protected Forest.
