Encyclopedic overview
Kandal (Khmer: កណ្ដាល, Kândal [kɑnˈɗaːl]; lit. 'middle') is a province of Cambodia which completely surrounds the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh. Located in the country's southeast, it borders the provinces of Kampong Speu and Takéo to the west, Kampong Chhnang and Kampong Cham to the north, Prey Veng to the east, and shares an international border with Vietnam (An Giang and Đồng Tháp). It is the second most populous province in Cambodia after the capital Phnom Penh.
