Senmonorom is the capital of Senmonorom District and Mondulkiri Province, Cambodia.
Senmonorom is the only major town the province has to speak of. With over 7000 inhabitants, 20 guesthouses, 12 restaurants, 2 bars and no post office it is often compared to American wild west frontier town. With local highland tribesmen and women passing your door on foot as often as large government land cruisers all passing depots full of smugglers loot it plays to an interesting crowd of tourists and ngo workers who feed the towns economy. Which in itself is booming to say the least, 2006-2007 year saw Sen Monorom double in size amid a land price boom.
Sroh-Plom Mountain, “Virtuous Woman’s Breast Mountain”, a breast shaped hill, is located close to Senmonorom. Members of the Pnong ethnic group ascribe divine powers to the hill and every year the make festivals in this location.[1]
In the north, winters are generally colder, while throughout most of the country temperatures remain fairly constant. The average year-round temperature in Sen Monorom is 27.7C (the highest monthly average being 35C, the lowest monthly average being 21C). There is often seasonal flooding in Sen Monorom and the rest of Sen Monorom in late July and early August, and, because the majority of roads are dirt, travel may be disrupted at these times. At the peak of the wet season it can rain as often as two in every three days.
