Srey Sarchhor

Srey Sarchhor lies on the southern bank of the Mekong between Phnom Penh and Kampong Cham. Its position on the great river made it one of the Cambodian court's royal centres after the decline of Angkor. In 1431 King Ponhea Yat moved his court south to Bassan in Srey Santhor before establishing himself at Phnom Penh. The river continued to connect the settlement with other royal residences and the fertile lands of the lower Mekong.

The later city of Prey Veng lies nearby.
