Administrative divisions of Cambodia
аdministrative divisions of Cambodia
Administrative divisions of the Kingdom of Cambodia have several levels. Cambodia is divided into 24 provinces (khaet; Khmer: ខេត្ត) and the special administrative unit and capital of Phnom Penh. Though a different administrative unit, Phnom Penh is at provincial level, so de facto Cambodia has 25 provinces and municipalities.
Each province is divided into districts. As of 2023, there are 162 districts throughout the country's provinces, including Phnom Penh. Each province has one capital district (known as either a city or town, krong; ក្រុង), e.g. for Siem Reap, it is Krong Siem Reap. The exceptions are the provinces of Banteay Meanchey, Kampong Speu, Kandal, Koh Kong, Mondulkiri, Oddar Meanchey, Ratanakiri, Takéo and Tboung Khmum, where the name of the province and the capital district does not match.
A provincial district (srok, ស្រុក) is divided into communes (khum, ឃុំ). Communes are further divided into villages (phum, ភូមិ).
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Administrative divisions of Cambodia” as аdministrative divisions of Cambodia. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as аdministrative divisions of Cambodia. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q50201. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2023.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
