BOUTIQUE HOTEL
$$
Koh Kong Bay Hotel
( 035-936367;
www.kohkongbay.com
; St 1; r US$35-90)
Koh Kong's first attempt at a boutique
hotel. Rooms come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but it's not worth investing signific-
antly more money in the top-end rooms. The decor is attractive and bathrooms include a
rain shower. The pool offers river views and there's a small spa on site.
Eating & Drinking
The best cheap food stalls are in the southeast corner of Psar Leu (the market); fruit stalls
can be found near the southwest corner. Riverfront food carts sell noodles and cans of
beer for a few thousand riel, doubling up as sunset drinking spots.
Crab Shack
(Koh Yor Beach; mains US$4-8; 11am-9pm)
A family-run place over the bridge on Koh Yor,
Crab Shack is known for perfect sunsets and heaped portions of fried crab with pepper (on
request).
SEAFOOD

Japanese Food Maruo
(mains US$2-7; 11am-10pm)
Japanese food has come to town and the prices are definitely
more Koh Kong than Kyoto. Sushi samples are just US$1 to US$3 and set menus start
from just US$5.50. As well as cheap local beers, imported sake is available for an authen-
tic experience.

Bob's Ice
CAFE

(St 1; mains US$2-5; 7am-10pm; )
Popular Bob's Bar has a lively location near the river-
front. Don't be fooled by the name, though: the ice cream is great, but most people here
are drinking chilled beers.
