About Mimong#
The remote village of Mimong lies at the heart of Cambodia’s gold rush. Set in what is often called the country’s wild east, this once-small settlement has mushroomed with the arrival of gold-seekers, and its mines have made the surrounding district famous across the country.
The mining equipment is outdated and poorly maintained, which makes the pits genuinely dangerous; expect to see miners descending on ancient carts linked by rusty winches. Attractions in and around Mimong include the gold mines themselves and the impressive but notoriously hard-to-reach Tan Lung Waterfall.
