Overview of Skun, Cambodia
Skun is the capital of Kampong Cham province in Cambodia, located about 80 kilometers northeast of the capital city of Phnom Penh, in the heart of the country and an important hub for east-west transportation. Known for its busy road market and traditional Khmer culture, the city has a population of about 40,000 and an economy based on agriculture and small businesses.
History and Cultural Characteristics
Historically an important strategic stronghold during the Cambodian Civil War, Skun retains its simple rural character today. The most famous local attraction is the Skun Market, which sells fresh produce and handicrafts daily, reflecting the daily life of the Khmer people. The city is surrounded by several ancient temples, such as Vapu Temple, which shows the architectural influence of the Angkor Dynasty.
Economic and Transportation Status
As the intersection of National Highway 1 and Highway 6, Sukhumvit is a must for Phnom Penh's access to Siem Reap and Kampong Cham, and has a well-developed logistics and transportation industry. The main cash crops include rice, corn and cassava. In recent years, tourism has been gradually developed to provide tourists with a window to experience the Cambodian countryside.
Status and Development
Skun has a basic infrastructure, but is benefiting from Cambodia's economic growth and is gradually improving its medical and educational resources. The city attracts backpackers with its low cost of living and friendly people, making it an important stopover for exploring the culture of central Cambodia.
