The Kingdom of Cambodia is a country in Southeast Asia with a population of almost 15 million people (Capital city - Phnom Penh). Cambodia is the successor state of the once powerful Hindu and Buddhist Khmer Empire, which ruled most of the Indochinese Peninsula between the eleventh and fourteenth centuries.

A citizen of Cambodia is usually identified as "Cambodian" or "Khmer", which strictly refers to ethnic Khmers. Most Cambodians are Theravada Buddhists of Khmer extraction, but the country also has a substantial number of predominantly Muslim Cham, as well as ethnic Chinese, Vietnamese and small animist hill tribes.

The country shares a border with Thailand to its west and northwest, with Laos to its northeast, and with Vietnam to its east and southeast. In the south it faces the Gulf of Thailand. The geography of Cambodia is dominated by the Mekong river (colloquial Khmer: Tonle Thom or "the great river") and the Tonlé Sap ("the fresh water lake"), an important source of fish. The low geography of Cambodia's fertile areas means much of the country sits nearly below sea level, and consequently the Tonle Sap River reverses its water flow in the wet season, carrying water from the Mekong back into the Tonle Sap Lake and surrounding flood plain.

Lou wrote: Cambodia, on March 13, 2024 issued four stamps and s/s with strips of five illustrating actual "Postcards of Colonial Cambodia", three of which are SoS.

The original black/white postcards have been recolored for the issue, so I have attached a photo ofone of the originals. Altho the SoS are quite small and partially obscured by postmarks, they were identifiable.
