A small village on the Tatai River in south-western Cambodia's Koh Kong Province, Tatai sits only 32 kilometres from the Thai border. A tranquil, off-the-beaten-track destination for adventurers or those dreaming of a blissful break, it’s a very special spot. Whilst there are a growing number of B&Bs and guesthouses in the area, our pick of the best places to stay in Tatai is a gorgeous tented camp on the edge of the river, complete with romantic suites and stacks of charm.
Set at the foot of the Cardamom Mountains and close to both the impressive Botum Sakor National Park and the verdant wetlands of the Peam Krasaop Wildlife Sanctuary, this is an intriguing region for nature lovers to discover. Enjoy guided hikes and kayaking excursions, spotting a fraction of the 530-odd species of birds which call this area home. The Tatai Waterfall and Ta Chat Waterfall are spectacular natural landmarks. Try your hand at fishing from traditional long-tail boats, take cooling dips in the river, or trek with forest rangers in the hope of spying Asian elephants, pangolins and sun bears whilst delving into ongoing conservation efforts. Koh Kong Province is unfortunately at great risk from commercial enterprises, and local initiatives are making huge efforts to protect key ecosystems; their work is admirable and fascinating.
