Prey Veng Province, Province in southeastern Cambodia

The territory extends over 4,883 square kilometers of agricultural land between the Mekong and Tonle Bassac rivers in southern Cambodia.

Prey Veng Province was established in 1907 during the French protectorate period, which led to extensive deforestation for agricultural development.

The Buddhist temples and colonial structures throughout the province reflect the religious practices of over 99.5 percent of the local population.

National Highway Number 1 crosses through the province, connecting the capital Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City in neighboring Vietnam.

The provincial capital contains a large seasonal lake that transforms into rice cultivation grounds during the dry period from March to August.
