This small town near the Border with
Thailand, with i8ts gem, precious stones and timber
resources, was long the economic crutch that kept the
Khmer rouge hobbling along. There is little of interest
to the tourist here, unless you know a bit about
gemstones.
Pailin is the smallest city among the
Cambodia’s 4 cities. Following the footprint of Poipet,
Pailin is home to though not as many as in Poipet some
casinos that are enjoying fruits of profit, most of
which is from Thai gamblers. There are also attractive
places to visit in this lively tiny city, and the best
example is Phnom Khieu Waterfall. Stretching along the
lower reaches of Chuor Phnom Kravanh, this swimming hole
is about 20 km away from the town to the southwest. The
site may promise to make the city worth visiting.
