Chey Chettha II (Khmer: ជ័យជេដ្ឋាទី២ pronounced [cɨj.ceit.tʰaː tiː piː], 1576–1628) was a king of Cambodia who reigned from Oudong, about 40 km (25 mi) northwest of modern-day Phnom Penh, from 1618 to 1628. He was the son of King Srei Soriyopear (r. 1603–1618). He is noted for moving the royal capital from Srei Sonthor to Oudong, and for his cooperation with the Nguyễn Lords of Vietnam against the Siamese, which led to the Vietnamese annexation of the Mekong Delta, including the city of Prey Nokor—the precursor of modern-day Ho Chi Minh City.[1][2]
