Koh Rong is located near Sihanoukville it approximately take 5-7 hours. It depending on the mode of transportations that you choose. To answering the question, Koh Rong isn’t the worth visiting, but in fact it’s one of the beautiful scenery that you cannot get over its Island. Koh Rong is named as an ‘island paradise’ by visiting tourists, the island boasts pristine white sandy beaches, warm crystal-clear ocean waters, and a hot tropical climate.

Spending your holiday in Koh Rong paradise is such an experience in this beautiful kingdom. In addition, the beaches are beautiful, white sand and crystal clear water. For such a small and rustic place you would think there’d be nothing to do but sit on the beach make a small party, cooking, dancing and relaxing such a freedom holiday you cannot miss.

Koh Rong was full of super friendly people and the hikes, beaches and little beach bars were spot on! The island is quite huge and largely unexplored. The area near to port have many guest house, eateries and pubs to hangout. The vast stretches of soft white sand beach with hardly many crowd to disturb are just awesome. High point is known as a rope park, which the views are spectacular, it is really like being in another world.

Plus, if you’re lucky you might see a monkey from a distance! Best to get lost in off beaten path to enjoy the beauty to most. It is so relaxing and rejuvenating. Rest all of the island is your own and no one will disturb your peace. I hope to go the place again and again in future.

Kbal Spean Waterfall

Kbal Spean Waterfall is located in Khun Rum village, Khun Rrom commune, Banteay Srei district, Siem Reap province. Kbal Spean is most famous for its underwater reliefs, and the Siem Reap River that connects here runs all the way from Kbal Spean to Angkor Town and to Tonle Sap Lake. The interest in this site is a series of stone carvings in the river with waterfall. There are a lot of trees and this makes the area around Kbal Spean cool. During the wet season the jungle is lush and abundant, though the water will be running strongly and it may be hard to see the lingas. Wet season is probably the best time, the water will have receded enough to get a clear look at the lingas and the jungle will still be lush and fresh from all of the rain. The time you should avoid from Kbal Spean is hot season, the temporary will quite change and it’s hard to walk in. Kbal Spean and Phnom Kulen waterfall is located in Phnom Kulen national park.

Kbal Spean is an Angkorian era archaeological site on the southwest slopes of the Kulen Hills to the northeast of Angkor in Siem Reap. The site consists of a series of stone rock relief carvings in sandstone formations of the river bed and banks. Cambodia Time
