The district capital is Sameakki Mean Chey town located on the rail line some 52 kilometres south of the provincial capital of Kampong Chhnang by road. The district shares a border with Kandal and Kampong Speu provinces to the south. The National Railway line from Phnom Penh to Sisophon runs through the district crossing roughly from north to south.
The district has access to significant transport infrastructure and National Highway 5 which runs from Phnom Penh to Poipet forms the south eastern border of the district. Three smaller provincial roads cross the district from the National highway to the rail line running roughly east to west. National Road 138 starts at Kampong Tralach town and runs across the district to its terminus at Chleb in Tuek Phos district. Numerous smaller tertiary roads run either to the nearby national railway line or to the National highway.
