About Koh Kong Province

A rugged region of dramatic rainforest and craggy coastline, Koh Kong Province sits in Cambodia's south-western corner, close to the Gulf of Thailand. Relatively undeveloped and less popular with tourists than the lively hubs of Siem Reap or Sihanoukville, this wonderful part of the country increasingly attracts wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers eager to step beyond the beaten path. Appealing accommodation options are few and far between, so it can be tricky to work out where to base yourself. Our pick of the best places to stay in Koh Kong Province highlights two fabulous tented camps, perfect for adventurers.

The rainforests of the Cardamom Mountains, and the immense 171,250-hectare Botum Sakor National Park — the largest in Cambodia — are rich in biodiversity, and fascinating for outdoorsy types to discover. The wetlands of the Peam Krasaop Wildlife Sanctuary, near the lovely village of Tatai, are also striking. Spend your days hiking or mountain biking along winding trails with an expert guide, or kayaking and tubing down meandering rivers. Birdwatchers will delight in spotting rare species, whilst those interested in conservation can speak to forest rangers about efforts to protect and preserve the region’s flora and fauna in a rapidly changing world.

Venture to the coast for huge beaches, rocky coves and trips to marvellous Koh Kong Island. A tranquil land of hills and golden sands, this is a terrific destination for those dreaming of blissful seclusion. Don’t miss the chance to feast on fantastic local specialities; our choice of the best places to stay in Koh Kong Province is famed for its food!
