Fodor's Expert Review Khmer Museum
Soc Trang
History Museum
In a large stucco French-Khmer colonial-style building, originally built as a Khmer school in the 19th century, the museum's collection includes Khmer statues and clothing, antique pots and utensils, and two long and colorful racing boats. During the French-Indochina War the building served as the headquarters for the local French militia, and during the Vietnam War it was a headquarters for American troops.
