Parrot's Beak, Cambodia, Geographic salient in Svay Rieng Province, Cambodia

The Parrot's Beak extends into Vietnamese territory, forming a distinctive land projection approximately 65 kilometers northwest of Ho Chi Minh City.

In July 1867, French Cochinchina authorities transferred the Parrot's Beak territory to the Kingdom of Cambodia through a formal treaty with King Norodom.

The region represents a complex intersection of Cambodian and Vietnamese influences, shaped by centuries of territorial exchanges and population movements.

The area connects to multiple Vietnamese provinces, providing important transportation routes between Cambodia and southern Vietnam for local communities.

During the Vietnam War, the Parrot's Beak contained Base Areas 367 and 706, serving as terminal points for the Ho Chi Minh Trail network.
