KAMPONG CHAM


KAMPONG CHAM

The province is Cambodia’s most populous, with over 1.6 million inhabitants, and the people make their living from fishing, rice farming and producing a rich array of fruits in fertile orchards, including durian, rambutans and lychees.

Most people in Kampong Cham are of course ethnic Khmer, but there is a sizeable Cham minority in the province's towns, including a disproportionately high number of Muslims and Christians.
