Taing Kouk District (Khmer: ស្រុកតាំងគោក) is a district located in Kampong Thom Province, in central Cambodia. The district was officially established in January 2019 by carving out eight communes from neighboring Baray District. The administrative seat and district hall are located in Sou Young Commune.[2]
History
[edit]Taing Kouk was created under Sub-decree No. 05, signed by Prime Minister Hun Sen on 8 January 2019. The separation from Baray District was implemented to improve local administrative efficiency and public service delivery for the growing local population.[3][4]

It is located in the southern portion[3] of Kampong Thom Province and is divided by National Road 6, a major economic artery connecting the national capital Phnom Penh with Siem Reap. The local landscape consists primarily of low-lying, fertile agricultural plains characteristic of the central Cambodian basin.[5]
