Contact Admin. Pursat is the fourth biggest province of Cambodia. Pursat offers a perfect access to both the Tonle Sap just 35km far and the Cardamom Mountains right to the West. The name of Pursat refers to a type of tree. For the time being, Pursat receives few travellers and the two main attractions, the Cardamoms and the Tonle Sap require a little initiative on the tourist's part to visit. There is also an old slowly train working between Phnom Penh and Battambang, which stops outside 2km from Pursat.
The provincial capital of Pursat is also called Pursat town. The city is located right in the middle between the Tonle Sap and the Cardamom Mountains on the riverbanks of the Stung Pursat. For people just driving by, the impression of a boring ordinary town remains.
The only tourist attraction in town is the marble workshops near the bridge on the main street. The precious marble stones originate from the Cardamoms, than they are brought here, followed up and sold near the Lam Siv Eng Restaurant.
About 5 km from town is the tomb of Khleang Meung. Pursat province offers the magnificent opportunity to see one of the larger and markedly less touristy floating villages without a significant investment in time or money. Pursat Province Pursat is the fourth biggest province of Cambodia.
