Pursat Province, Province in western Cambodia

Pursat Province spans 12,692 square kilometers of land, featuring forested mountains, fertile plains, and the Pursat River flowing into Tonle Sap Lake.

The province gained its administrative status in 1907 as part of Cambodia's territorial reorganization, becoming the fourth largest province by land area.

Wat Bakan temple stands as an enduring Buddhist sanctuary where local residents participate in traditional ceremonies and religious practices throughout the year.

National Highway 5 connects the provincial capital to Phnom Penh and Battambang, facilitating transportation of agricultural products and regional commerce.

The region contains substantial Aquilaria tree populations, making it a primary source of agarwood, valued internationally for its natural fragrance.
