Situated along the Mekong River, Kampong Cham was once an important trading post during French colonial times. Nearby Koh Pen (Pen Island) is a wonderful place to spend an afternoon, cycling along dirt roads past houses on stilts, fruit trees and tobacco plantations. Each year during the dry season, villagers build a bamboo bridge to the mainland, but they must deconstruct it in wet season before the waters of the rising Mekong carry it away.
