Prey Veng is very accessible due to it being on the main Phnom Penh-Ho Chi Minh City highway, yet despite its accessibility it is not too chaotic for the average international traveler. There are several good looking colonial buildings to check out in the city center, along with a number of cheap guesthouses and of course, a bustling fresh produce market.
If you tire of the city, head out of town and visit the nearby lake and Preah Theat Me Bon, or perhaps check out the many Ba Phnom temples in the area. In addition, the Vietnam border isn't far away from Prey Veng, with Ho Chi Minh City well connected by bus and the infamous Cu Chi Tunnels within reach.
