Kampong Thom Provincial Museum
សារមន្ទីរខេត្តកំពង់ធំ
A small provincial museum displaying Chenla stone carvings and artifacts unearthed at Sambor Prei Kuk and other sites, a good introduction before visiting the ruins.
The museum sits in the northern part of Kampong Thom town. It is modest in size and displays lintels, stone statues, inscriptions and pottery excavated from Sambor Prei Kuk, Prasat Andet and other sites in the province. Site maps and English explanations help explain how Chenla culture led into Angkorian culture. Entry is cheap, and the visit takes about half an hour to an hour. Opening hours are irregular, and the museum may close during the lunch break, so mornings are recommended.
Opening hours
Approx. 08:00–11:00, 14:00–17:00
