Pursat is a province in the west of Cambodia. Its capital is Pursat. The province is subdivided into 6 districts. Pursat is one province that has a bit of eco-tourism potential. Located in the western part of the country, Pursat is bordered by, clockwise from the north, Battambang, the Tonle Sap Lake, Kompong Chhnang, Kompong Speu, Koh Kong, and Thailand, Pursat offers generous access to both the Tonle Sap and the Cardamom Mountains.

For the time being, Pursat receives few visitors and the two attractions, the Cardamoms and the Tonle Sap will require a little initiative on the tourist’s part to visit, but having seen both myself, it would be an initiative well rewarded.

Access to Pursat is predominantly by road only as National Highway 5, the road connecting Battambang and Phnom Penh, cuts through the province. The train between Phnom Penh and Battambang stops here. Scenic but agonizingly slow. Gordon Sharpless
