Cambodia is a tropical country in South-East Asia between Thailand, Lao, Vietnam and the Bay of Cambodia.

Islands, large and small, dot the coastline of Cambodia.  This area is known as the Bay of Thailand, though we call it the Bay of Cambodia.

Most of Cambodia’s islands are lightly populated.  Some have island bungalows for tourists, backpacker places and luxury resorts….  And a few small islands have world class resorts that take the whole island. 

Most of the islands are called KOH something.  the KOH, pronounced “GAW”, very quickly, means “island” in the Cambodian language of Khmer.

Most of the tourist islands are off the coast of SihanoukVille, Cambodia. The train and most buses, vans and cars arrive and leave right from the SihanoukVille Tourist Port. Not necessary to go into the city at all.

You can also get to Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem Islands from the Kampot International Tourism Port. Costs more, takes longer, but you don’t have to go to Sunny SihanoukVille. With the added bonus of visiting Kampot for a few days (or more.)

Come enjoy a day or more exploring Cambodia’s Islands.
