”Make sure you get to Koh Rong. Go there before it gets too busy”; these words I heard many a time whilst in Siem Reap. The backpacker grapevine told tales of unmatched beauty in Cambodia, with everyone who had already been strongly advising a visit.
Just two hours by boat from the travellers frenzy of Sihanoukville lies the relatively undisturbed diamond of Koh Rong, Cambodia’s second largest island.
It’s the kind of place you dream of when you’re working, saving for that holiday, looking forwards to that time in the sun that you’ve earned.
23 miles of beaches surrounded by clear turquoise seas awaits. Expect land peppered with accommodation for even the tightest budget too.
See it within your two week holiday from home or kick back for a while as you move around the hub of South East Asia … Let the saying live up to the hype ”You can’t go wrong in Koh Rong”
A snippet of my three nights in Koh Rong

Our 2 hour taxi boat from Sihanoukville took an unexpected stop on route. We docked at nearby Koh Rong Sanloem for lunch … understandably we didn’t mind!

Wifi is ‘free’ in a few places but it’s temperamental across the island … not to worry though, chances are that’s not what you’re there for. Free tea in the morning is always welcome though!

Take a local boat around the coast to the aptly known Long Beach for a day at the seaside you’ll never forget
