Kong Pisei District

Kong Pisei District (Khmer: ស្រុកគងពិសី) is a district located in Kampong Speu Province, in central Cambodia. It is located in the eastern part of the province and is one of the larger districts in Kampong Speu.
It is home to a Wing Star Shoes factory.
In 2016, plans were announced for the construction of a "Chinese-funded agricultural special economic zone (SEZ) with facilities to research plant diseases." Also in 2016, damage to the Ou Treng reservoir caused flooding along National Route 3. The flood was caused by "three days of heavy rain and the release of water from the 7 Makara reservoir downstream from Kampong Speu province through the Prek Tnort river."
In February 2019, the Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC) was called in to dispose of a 340 kg US M117 bomb that was discovered in Chamkar Doung village.
It is notable as the birthplace of Chuon Nath (1883–1969), one of Cambodia’s most respected monks and scholars. Born in Kamreang Village, Roka Kaoh Commune, he became a great figure in Khmer language, Buddhism, and Cambodian culture. His work on the Khmer Dictionary helped preserve the Khmer language.
