General Info
Geography Population History Currency Holidays ... Customs GEOGRAPHY Covering an area of 181,035 square kilometres Cambodia is about half the size of Germany. In the West the country is bordered by Thailand, in the North by Laos and in the East by Vietnam. By far the most important river of Cambodia is the Mekong, which passes through the country for about 500 kilometres in a northsoutherly direction. The Mekong is passable for ships from its delta in Vietnam until Phnom Penh. Southeast Asia's largest lake, Tonle Sap, is in Cambodia and is connected to the Mekong by a short river, also called Tonle Sap. For most of the time this river flows from lake Tonle Sap into the Mekong. However, during the Southeast Asian rainy season from June to October when the Mekong drains large areas of Southeast Asia, the Tonle Sap river flows from the Mekong back into lake Tonle Sap thus causing enormous floods in the area surrounding the lake. During this time, lake Tonle Sap can swell to more than twice its regular size. Central Cambodia is a fertile plain. Mountain ranges in the shape of a semicircle form a natural boundary with Thailand. In the West are the Cardamon Mountains (designated after the spice of the same name), in the Southwest the Elephant Mountains and in the North the Dankret Mountain Range. The highest mountain in Cambodia is Phnom Aural in the Cardamon range, at a height of 1,813 metres.

Cambodia - Geography About the size of England and Wales stuck together, but more fun than either, Cambodia is approximately 181,000 sq km in area.
The north is made up of three ranges of mountains which form a natural barrier between Cambodia and its neighbours, Thailand and Laos. The Mekong river runs north to south through the country for 500km.
In the centre is the largest freshwater lake in South East Asia, Tonle Sap, which lies upon an extensive flood plain. Every year at the onset of the rains (from May to October) the lake floods and covers the plain, leaving fertile soil as the water retreats. This is where most of the country's rice is grown. Originally Cambodia was densely forested except for the central plain. At the time of the annual Mekong River flood Thai and Vietnamese companies have been illegally logging inside the Cambodian border, often with the connivance of Cambodian armed forces. Control of its forest resources will be one of Cambodia's biggest challenges in years to come.

    Geography
    3 municipalities, 172 districts, and 1,547 communes. The country has a coastline of 435 km and extensive mangrove stands, some of which are relatively undisturbed. The dominant features of the Cambodia landscape are the large, almost centrally located, Tonle Sap (Great Lake) and the Bassac River systems and the Mekong River, which crosses the country from north to south. Surrounding the Central Plains which covered three quarters of the country’s area are the more densely forested and sparsely populated highlands, comprising: the Elephant Mountains and Cardamom Mountains of the southwest and western regions; the Dangrek Mountains of the north adjoining the Korat Planteau of Thailand; and the Ratanakiri Plateau and Chhlong highlands on the east merging with the Central Highlands of Vietnam. The Tonle Sap Basin-Mekong Lowlands region consists mainly of plains with elevations generally of less than 100 meters. As the elevation increases, the terrain becomes more rolling and dissected. The Cardamom Mountains in the southwest rise to more than 1,500 meters and is oriented generally in a northwest-southeast direction. The highest mountain in Cambodia – Phnom Aural, at 1,771 meters – is in the eastern part of this range. The Elephant Range, an extension of the Cardamom Mountains, runs toward the south and the southeast and rises to elevations of between 500 and 1,000 meters. These two ranges are bordered on the west by a narrow coastal plain facing the Gulf of Thailand that contains Kampong Som Bay. The Dangrek Mountains at the northern rim of the Tonle Sap Basin, consisting of a steep escarpment on the southern edge of the Korat Plateau in Thailand, marks the boundary between Thailand and Cambodia. The average elevation of about 500 meters with the highest points reaches more than 700 meters. Between the northern part of the Cardamom ranges and the western part of the Dangrek, lies an extension of the Tonle Sap Basin that merges into the plains in Thailand, allowing easy access from the border to Bangkok.

    FACTS ABOUT CAMBODIA
    The Kingdom of Cambodia is an independent country with a population of more than 7 million people. With a surface area of 181,035 sq. km and once a French colony, is the least known Indochinese country. Cambodia has a distinct geographical personality: it is a wide basin surrounded by highlands. In this basin the farmer has created a simple life - an original civilization and philosophy of mildness. After many years of war, people rediscovered the meaning of "PEACE" They started to rebuild and reconstruct in all fields. Cambodia is divided into 20 provinces and rich in resources, forests, rubber, gems, fish and has a big potential in tourism. FACTS ABOUT THE COUNTRY
    Khmers have called their country Kampuchea (usually rendered Kambuja), since the l6th century. The name is derived from the word kambu-ja, meaning those born of Kambu (a figure of Indian mythology), which was first used to refer to the people of Cambodia in the 10th century. The Portuguese Cambodia and French Cambodge from which the English name Cambodia is derived, are adaptations of " Kampuja". It was the Khmer Rouge who insisted that the outside world use the name Kampuchea. Changing the country's official English name back to Cambodia (which has been used by the US State Department all along) was intended as a symbolic move to distance the present government in Phnom Penh from the bitter connotations of the name Kampuchea, which westerners and overseas Khmer alike associate with the murderous Khmer Rouge regime. As a result of the United Nations sponsored and enforced election in May, 1993, the Kingdom of Cambodia is now safe to travel and tourism has once again become possible. Indeed, the country and Phnom Penh in partucular is undergoing something of a renaissance. Often overshadowed by the traumatic events of its recent past, Cambodia as home of the Khmer culture remains one of the most important and exotic countries in South East Asia.

    Cambodia: Country: Geography
    Cambodia is in South-East Asia, and shares borders with three countries - Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. It also has access to the sea in the Gulf of Thailand. In the centre of the country is a large plain or basin, which is surrounded by hill country to the south-west (the Cardamom and Elephant Mountains), to the North (the Dangrek Mountains) and to the East.
    The two main geographical features of the central plain are the Tonle Sap Lake and the Mekong River. The Mekong River flows through Cambodia on its way from the mountains of China to the Vietnam coast.
    The backwards river
    The Tonle Sap River connects the lake with the Mekong River, but strangely, the water does not always flow the same way. In the wet season, there is so much water coming down the Mekong River that it forces water back up the Tonle Sap River to the lake. The water levels in the lake rise by 7 to 10 metres, and the lake spreads out over three times as much land as it usually covers. When the dry season comes, the Mekong River has less water in it, and the Tonle Sap river reverses, letting the water drain back out of the lake towards the sea.
