Diamond Island ( Khmer: កោះពេជ្រ, Kaôh Péch [kɑh peic], lit. "Diamond Island") is a satellite city in Phnom Penh on the Mekong and Bassac rivers.
The land was a swamp until the year 2000, [1] but it is now being developed as a residential and commercial area and could become a separate Phnom Penh municipality.
A neighborhood named "Elysée" has a style inspired by Paris. [2] In other areas, skyscrapers are under construction with help from China. [3]
Almost all of the island is in Chamkar Mon Section. [4]
The Canadian International School of Phnom Penh has its main campus in Koh Pich; this campus opened in 2015. [5]
The Phnom Penh stampede was a deadly stampede that occurred during the Water Festival at Diamond Island in Cambodia. It resulted in 347 people being killed and at least 755 being injured.
