Koh Pich (Template:Lang-km, lit. ‘Diamond Island’) is a new district of Phnom Penh on the rivers Mekong and Bassac.

The land was a swamp until the year 2000,[1] but it is now (2017) under work and could become the Phnom Penh residential district and a separate municipality.

A neighborhood named "Elysée" has a style inspired by Paris.[2] In other areas, high towers are under construction.[3]

Almost all of the island is in Chamkar Mon Section.[4]

Education

The Canadian International School of Phnom Penh has its main campus in Koh Pich; this campus opened in 2015.[5]
