Boeung Keng Kang II and III are sangkats (quarters) of Khan Boeng Keng Kang, a 4.1 km² district created from Chamkar Mon on 8 January 2019 with seven quarters, among them Olympic and Tuol Svay Prey I and II.1 The khan had 66,658 residents at the 2019 census.1

The quarter's best-known address is on Street 113: the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, in a former high school that the Khmer Rouge used as Security Prison 21 (S-21).2 The streets around it are residential, and the cafés are neighborhood places, scattered through the grid with small groups on Streets 163, 199, 310 and 360.

Local tip: Arrive at Tuol Sleng when it opens at 08:00 and you can be at Treehouse Cafe, on the same street, well before it closes at 16:00; it is shut on Sundays.3
