Phsar Dek

Phsar Dek lies in the watery country of the Mekong delta, near the river town later known as Sa Đéc. Channels branch across the low plain, carrying floodwater and sediment toward the sea. The Khmer name was associated with a local watercourse, and the delta's waterways linked its settlements with the larger branches of the Mekong. Rice fields and wet ground spread across the surrounding landscape.

The later city of Cần Thơ lies nearby.
