Overview
Sisophon is a small provincial town that almost every overland visitor to Cambodia will unknowingly pass through for at least 15 minutes. It sits at the junction of National Highway 5 (south to Battambang, west to Poipet) and National Highway 6 (east to Siem Reap), making it a practical transport hub.
