Understanding Cambodia's Administrative Divisions

Cambodia has 25 provinces and cities, 197 districts, 1,646 communes, and 14,562 villages. Here is how the hierarchy works and why it matters for your app.

The Admin Hierarchy

Cambodia is divided into a four-level administrative hierarchy:

Province/City — Top level. Phnom Penh is a capital city with province-equivalent status.
District — Second level, ~200 across the country.
Commune — Third level, ~1,600 total.
Village — Fourth level, ~14,500.

Why This Matters

Most e-commerce platforms stop at the commune level. Logistics companies need villages. CambodiaPostalCode Dev exposes all four levels.
