Cambodia is situated in the heart of Southeast Asia. Covering a total area of 181,035 square kilometres, Cambodia shares its border with Thailand, Laos and Vietnam.

Cambodia’s main geographical features, the low-lying Central Plain, includes the Tonlé Sap basin, the lower Mekong River flood-plains and the Bassac River plain. Mountain ranges occupy the north, east, in the south-west and southern part of the country.

The south and south-westerly part of the country face the serene coastline borders the Gulf of Thailand with a 443 km long coast overlapping 4 provinces; Kep, Kampot, Koh Kong and Kampong Soam (Sihanoulville) – collectively dubbed the 4K coastal zone. This charming stretch is characterized by mangrove forests, peninsulas, sandy beaches, headlands and bays with over 50 islands within the territorial waters.

There are mountains to the North and East but the land is mostly flat; perfect for rice cultivation. Indeed, Cambodia’s premium fragrant rice was voted one of the best in the world in the latest global competition. The green rice fields and trees are fed by the giant Tonlé Sap Lake, one of the world’s most varied and productive ecosystems and the mighty Mekong River, which traverse the country from north to south, are two outstanding features that contribute to the population that lives in the region.
