Visit Koh Kong on a Holiday
Just because the weather is not so sunny anymore, it does not mean you cannot visit Koh Kong for a holiday. Despite the surly weather, you can always head over to Koh Kong if you need to get away from the traffic that Phnom Penh has. It is also a great experience to check out some lesser known cities in Cambodia.
Why visit Koh Kong?
Koh Kong is known to have a somewhat frontier town vibe. Due to its once relative isolation from the rest of Cambodia, several less legal acts such as banditry, illegal logging, and wild animal smuggling among others were rampant. However, since transportation has much improved, Koh Kong is now becoming a tourist destination.
The town is accessible by land, air, and sea. It can be accessed from Bangkok as well as through the town of Sre Ambel.

Apart from getting a chance to relax, guests who have chosen to visit Koh Kong can also:
- check out the Koh Kong bridge which links Koh Kong and the border crossing to Thailand
- pass through the majestic Cardamom Mountains
- check out some casinos near the border
- enjoy boat tours to visit the uninhabited island
- go on a trek up the Cardamom Mountains
