Administration

Khan Pou Senchey was established in 2011 by taking the following 13 Sangkats from Khan Dangkao: Trapeang Krasang, Kouk Roka, Phleung Chheh Roteh, Chaom Chau, Kakab, Samraong Kraom, Krang Thnong, Boeng Thum, Kamboul, Kantaok, Ovlaok, Ponsang and Snaor.[3]

In 2013, Kouk Roka and Ponsang formed a part of a new entity, Khan Prek Pnov, while Krang Thnong was moved to Khan Sen Sok.[4] In 2016, Chaom Chau was split in three separate Sangkats and Kakab was split in two parts.[4]

On 8 January 2019, according to sub-decree 04 អនក្រ.បក, 6 Sangkats from Khan Pou Senchey were moved to a new khan, Khan Kamboul; the Sangkats involved were Kamboul, Kantaok, Ovlaok, Snaor, Phleung Chheh Roteh and Boeng Thum.[4] [5]
