About Takhmau and Kandal Province
Ta Khmau (Takhmau) translated as ‘black grandpa’ is the capital and largest city of Kandal province in central Cambodia, about 11 km south of Phnom Penh. About 60% of its people travel to work in Phnom Penh.
Kandal province is located in the middle south of Cambodia and covers 3,568km2. It borders Kampong Chhnang, Kampong Cham, Prey Veng, Kampong Speu and Takeo.
Kandal is one of the smaller provinces and completely surrounds, but does not include, Phnom Penh. Its capital, Takhmau (lit. Black Grandfather), is around 20km south of Phnom Penh.
Kandal serves as an economic belt to Phnom Penh of the capital with many of Cambodia’s garment factories there. Other export industries in Kandal include palm oil, peanuts, rice and pepper.
The province is renowned for its with one of its major attractions beings Odong, the former capital of Cambodia between 1618 and 1866. A number of kings, including King Norodom, were crowned there.
Kandal is a typical wet plain covered with countless rice fields and other plantations.
The average altitude of the province is around 10m above sea level. The province features two of the largest rivers in Cambodia, the Tonle Bassac and the mighty Mekong.
Is Takhmau the number one up-and-coming real estate hotspot?
Takhmau location and connectivity
The majority of Takhmau’s residents commute to Phnom Penh, with road links facilitated by bridges recently constructed across the Mekong. This makes it one of the most practical suburban options for families who work in the capital but want more space and affordability.
Renowned Khmer architect Vann Molyvann notably predicted that the city will continue to grow outwards towards Takhmau because of the area’s flood-resistant qualities — a critical consideration in Cambodia’s rainy season. Asia Property AwardsAsia Property Awards
Techo International Airport effect
The single biggest driver for Takhmau and Kandal province is the new Techo International Airport (TIA), which began operations in September 2025. Located just 19 km south of Phnom Penh in Kandal province, key locations such as Takhmao, Sa’ang, and Kien Svay are likely to see significant property value appreciation as the airport becomes fully operational.
Developers are already securing land in the region, anticipating the economic ripple effects, with Kandal province offering more affordable property options, making it a focal point for investors seeking long-term growth opportunities.
