What Sen Sok is Known For:
Sen Sok District was established in 2009 by emerging Sangkats: Khmuonh, Phnom Penh Thmei, and Tuek Thla which used to be part of Khan Russey Keo, and a part of Kandal province absorbed into the capital expansion.
Until recently, the neighborhood was predominantly residential and industrial. However, in recent years, there have been some high-profile commercial ventures that appear to be ramping up activities. These include the addition of the AEON Mall Sen Sok, as well as warehouse-sized outlets such as Global House and Makro Cambodia, as well as large mixed-use complexes and boreys.
Sen Sok was earmarked as an impending area and an extension of the capital, and several Cambodian state-owned structures have relocated to it. Sen Sok now houses the Cambodian Departments of Planning, Health, Industry, and Social Affairs, as well as the National Bank.
