Kompong Thom is about 146km south east of Siem Reap on the road to Phnom Penh, and is one of the five provinces surrounding the Tonle Sap Lake. It is another sleepy Provincial capital, but the ruins of nearby Sambor Prei Kuk do make it a more rewarding stop than many others. If you are travelling on the road between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap it is a pleasant place to stop, and is a good base from which to explore the pre-Angkorian Tchen-La capital of Sambor Prei Kuk, and the hilltop temple of Phnom Suntok.
