Bet Trang commune, which is close to Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone (hereinafter referred to as SSEZ), used to be a poor and small village ten years ago. At present, dramatic changes have taken place by virtue of SSEZ’s development. By seizing opportunities of the development of SSEZ and working hard themselves, villagers have embarked on a broad road of getting rid of poverty to become rich and moving towards a well-off society, and have been weaving a colorful and happy life for the future.
