Provincial Hall

Provincial Hall is a townhall in Kampong Thom, Cambodia — one of 10 local services we map across the province, and part of a wider dataset of 325 mapped locations in Kampong Thom. In Khmer it would be described as សេវាកម្មនៅកំពង់ធំ. It sits at 12.71262, 104.88221, which is the coordinate any Cambodian tuk-tuk or PassApp driver can be shown directly if the name is unfamiliar to them.

As a local service, it serves both residents and visitors passing through Kampong Thom. It has no official website, so opening hours and prices are best confirmed by phone or by asking locally on the day — small businesses in Cambodia change hours seasonally and close for family events and festivals.

The easiest way to find Provincial Hall is by nearby landmarks. It lies roughly 100 m south of Provincial Hospital, and about 200 m north-east of Giant Bats, with Police Station a further 300 m south-east. Drivers in Kampong Thom usually navigate by these anchors rather than street numbers, so naming the closest one gets you there faster than an address.

From the centre of Kampong Thom, a tuk-tuk or PassApp ride is the standard way to arrive; short in-town trips generally cost US$1 to US$3, and longer provincial runs are worth agreeing in advance. Rented motorbikes are widely available from guesthouses, and self-driving is realistic on sealed roads in the dry season — less so between June and October, when heavy afternoon rain floods side streets and unpaved approaches. The "Get directions" link on this page opens the exact coordinates in Google Maps for turn-by-turn navigation.

Provincial Hall is mapped as a townhall in Kampong Thom. Public offices and service points in Cambodia usually work Monday to Friday from 7:30am or 8am, break for lunch between noon and 2pm, and close by 5pm; they shut entirely on the country's public holidays, which cluster around Khmer New Year in April, Pchum Ben and the November Water Festival.

Bring your passport and photocopies for anything official, and expect paperwork to be handled in person rather than online. Arriving early in the morning avoids both the queue and the heat.

Provincial Hall is not isolated: our map records 8 other mapped locations within a short ride, including Provincial Hospital (hospital, 100 m south), Giant Bats (attraction, 200 m north-east), Police Station (police, 300 m south-east), Old Market (marketplace, 400 m north-east). Pairing a visit here with one or two of those makes a more efficient half-day, especially if you are paying a driver by the trip rather than by the hour.
