Tbuong Kmoum District

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tbuong Kmoum District is a district located in Kampong Cham Province, Cambodia. The district is subdivided into 16 khums and 238 phums.

Tum Teav, the 'Romeo & Juliet' of Cambodia, was set in Tboung Kmoum. This epic poem, carried down through the generations by oral poets, was translated into French by Étienne Aymonier in 1880. Palm-leaf versions of the manuscript were composed by Santhor Mok and the Venerable Botumthera Som. The most recent literary version was composed by Nou Kan. The much-loved story has been adapted to theatre, song and film in recent years.[1]
