Phnom Penh Area Guide: Dangkor
Dangkor, sometimes written as “Dangkao”, is a district in the southern part of Phnom Penh. Dangkor is subdivided into 13 communes (Sangkats). The district has become more connected to the city center after the presence of Hun Sen Blvd. The section also receives many upscale gated residential developments in recent years.
It borders Krong Ta Khmau, Pou Senchey & Mean Chey Districts, and Kandal Province. Dangkor is home to over 159,000 people, according to the 2019 general population census.
Livability
Dangkor is relatively convenient and easily accessible to the city center. You will find many upscale gated communities along Street 50M and Prey Sar Street. After the presence of Hun Sen Blvd. (Street 60M), it takes only 30 – 40 minutes only to drive to central Phnom Penh.
AEON Mall Mean Chey (AEON 3) is located at the border between Mean Chey and Dangkor. The mall offers everything you could need from local food stands to dine-in restaurants serving international cuisines, fresh food markets, clothing stores, entertainment, fitness club, and movie cinemas.
There are notable gated residential developments in the sections, including Chip Mong Park Land 50M and Borey Chankiri. If you are looking for affordable options, Borey New Word or Borey Piphup Thmey Chamkar Duong are available to deliver as well but expect to buy your own furniture or make some renovations.
Vocational and Technical Training Center
Prek Pnov is home to a number of vocational and technical training centers. Those training centers include National Polytechnic Institute of Cambodia, Cambodian-Thai Skills Development Center, and the Korean School. It is one of the key factors to attract an influx of population to the section.
- National Polytechnic Institute of Cambodia
Established in 2005, National Polytechnic Institute of Cambodia, also known as Korean School, was under the support of the Republic of Korea. The institute collaborates with a university in South Korea called Jeon Ju University. It is in Dangkor district.
