The majority of Kampong Chhnang's population is engaged in the fishery and rice plantation industries because of its proximity to the Tonle Sap Lake. Particularly the commonplace capital Kampong Chhnang, which is a nice stream port town that merits a visit, centers around fishery and subsequently includes a major fishery port. National road number 5, which passes through the former capital of Udong, makes it simple to get there from Phnom Penh. You can also get there by air-conditioned bus from Kampong Chhnang, which was not possible in the past. In addition, there are a few nice places to see and a few decent places to eat and stay. The town also has a fair number of places to stay the night.
To get to the provincial town, you can take bullet boats from Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, which take you along the Tonle Sap through breathtaking scenery. You can also rent a motorized boat to explore the Tonle Sap River area around the town if you are interested. They are between US$ 8 every hour, or you can get one of the little non-mechanized boats to take you on an all the more calm visit for 4,000 riel each hour. The new river walkway is a great place to take a stroll and where locals gather for social time in the early evening. It's the place to be seen at night and on weekends.
