Cambodia- Koh Rong

We first heard about Koh Rong from a diver Johnny met in Lombok, I also follow a travelling family on Instagram and they absolutely raved about this small little island. We decided to make the trek and go. After a comfortable-ish bus ride (called a hotel bus, with tiny little beds and curtains) we arrived in the town of Sihanoukville at 5:30am. We had to wait until 8am for our ferry to take us to Koh Rong. We opted to stay on the more popular beach Koh Touch, there are no cars on this island (very little in way of roads for that matter), so we thought we would stay where there is a little action. When we arrived at the pier, white sand seemed to stretch for miles. We were staying at the far side of Koh Touch so we needed someone from our bungalow come and grab us...(would have been difficult carrying our luggage through the beach).

There is nothing I can say we did not like about our time spent in Koh Rong, it truly is the island paradise most people look for. There is just enough to do to keep busy for a week, snorkeling, ropes course and zip lining, visits to town, hiking and a party every night if your looking. Our days were pretty full, going on two different boat cruises (Adventure Adam and Akunamatada), we went to a beach party one day and the girls and I went on an amazing rope course while Johnny went diving. We visited the much quieter island of Koh Rong Salom, and saw the famous beach that Survivor was filmed on...never a dull moment

We met the most amazing group of girls from Wales and England- these amazing, beautiful women were all studying to be doctors! They spent the day entertaining our girls, what great rold models...

so long Koh Rong!

Koh Rong is the epitome of the perfect island. Still off the beaten path enough tourism hasn't completely taken over, but enough to do if hanging around a beautiful beach all day isn't your thing...definitely put this place on your bucket list, but visit soon as I doubt it will stay this way for long.
