In-Depth Information
Sihanoukville. Also located on the south coast, Sihanoukville has a reputation for being
a little on the edgy side, which it is in some areas such as Victory Beach and Occheuteal
Beach, where there are lots of bars and nightlife. Otres, Serendipity, and Independence
Beach are more appealing for visitors wanting a more laid-back experience and there are
day trips to waterfalls, national parks, and a handful of beautiful islands off the coast
Hot tip : Take an excursion to Lazy Beach on Koh Rong Sanloem where you can stay in
cabins, swim in warm waters, dangle in a hammock and while away the days in perfect
tranquility. Space is limited as there are only 17 bungalows on the island (making it ex-
tremely private) and reservations are essential, particularly in high season.
Koh Kong. Koh Kong is in the far west of the country on the border with Thailand (so it's
apopulardestinationforvisaruns).It'sawonderfulplacetovisitifyouenjoytheoutdoors,
as you can go hiking in the Cardamom Mountains, kayaking on the river, and scuba diving
in the Gulf of Thailand.
Hot tip : Take a day tour of trekking in the jungle, where you'll feel as though you're the
only people for miles around.
Other areas worth exploring to get a taste of Cambodia are Battambang (ride the bamboo
train and see the bat cave), Kratie (cross the river to Koh Trong for the pomelos and
homestays),Mondulkiri(visittheamazingBouSrawaterfall),andRatanakiri(seethecrys-
talclearvolcaniccraterlake.It'saverylongandbumpybusridetothispartofthecountry,
