Bavet (Khmer: បាវិត, Bavĭt [ɓaːʋət]) is the largest city in Svay Rieng Province, Cambodia.
Bavet is one of the "special economic zones" (SEZ) of Cambodia[2] and there were established textile industries and bicycles factories.
However, the most evident economic activity of Bavet are the casinos, fraud factories and cockfighting rings, attended by Chinese and Vietnamese.
In accordance with decentralization politics experienced by Cambodian government,[3] Bavet commune has become a municipality by sub-decree in December 2008.
The proposed Ho Chi Minh City–Phnom Penh railway is planned to pass through Bavet.
