Koh Rong Samloem

First of all, many people may mistakenly believe that Koh Rong Samloem island and Koh Rong island are one but in fact, these are only similar in their names. Compared to the size and bustling, Koh Rong is much better but about the breathtaking scenes, Koh Rong Samloem is the best.

There is a small island with no residential area, only resorts for tourist which are built and managed by foreigner. Known as a wild paradise and seems to be seperate from the outside world with the distance of nearly 3 hours by boat. From a far distance, you can see the beauty of the jetty stretching over the calm sea, along with the gentle sandy beaches that stand out on the green background of the tropical forests. On the island, you can only swim, read books, watch fish and coral or relax on chairs, swings, tree houses at the beach. If you are a kind of dynamic person and want to have fun, Koh Rong Samloem is definitely not a place for entertainment.

In addition, the boat will take us stop at Koh Tas island to experience snorkelling and scuba diving to see the colorful coral reefs as well as wonderful marine life or jumping from the jetty, fishing among the immense sea are also the most popular activities. And if you are lucky, on bright moonlight nights, you will see a rare natural phenomenon - a glowing plankton on beaches.
