Sihanoukville Travel Blogs

  I decided to go up to Victory Hill for the area's finest pizza at the Australian-run Corner Bar. I had the moto taxi take the round-about way so that I could check out St. Michael's Church which sits at the base of Sihanoukville Mountain. Built in 1962 to serve local Catholics, the church …

Last March I did the day-trip on the Sun and had such a great time that I decided to do it again on this trip. We had cruised past the beaches of Sihanoukville to visit several of the islands to the southeast. Swimming and snorkeling off Koh Ta Kiev was the highlight of that excursion. Lounges,…

  As last year and the year before, I asked the owner of the Te Lee Hong restaurant how much she wanted for the red Angkor Beer poster hanging on one of the stained walls. It was actually more a banner than poster - made of a sturdy plastic-like fabric. It measured about four feet high and on…

About 9 or 10 of us made a decision the night before hire a boat to an island for the day. There are organized tours but we liked the idea of getting to one island and staying there. I don't remember how much it cost, but it was less than $10 and included lunch. After breakfast, we piled into a tr…

I currently resemble a brunette Donatella Versache, I am stuffed full of Chicken Amok curry and the most amazing bananas and pineapples I've ever tasted, and my arm hair has been bleached by the sun and looks -really- strange as my tan is so dark. We are currently in Sihanoukville, the Costa d…

After the western party town of Siem Reap and the gloomy capital, we were looking for two things: a real taste of rural Cambodia and a beach where we could relax. Given the time restrictions, we chose to play it safe and follow the 3rd city on a tourist's itinerary to Cambodia: the costal town of S…

I arrived in one piece after my 4 hour hair raising boat trip from Koh Kong.I booked into a nice guest house for 5 US Dollars a night, it was nice and clean and had its own shower (cold shower though) and toilet. After checking in a decided to check out the nearby beach to see what it was like. I s…

We arrived back in Bangkok with the mission to get out again as soon as possible.  However, a spontaneous large night out delayed things somewhat.  We stumbled across a bar which, by day is a Shell petrol station and by night converts into a bar!  We were literally drinking in b…

My trip to Kaoh Rong island was one of the most memorable till so far. As I came to Cambodia I was asked if I also wanted to join this trip that was suppose to be our ngo weekend. But basically my Khmer supervisor invited just everyone he knew, including family, friends and collegues. We set out fr…

If you've read our previous entries on Cambodia you know that we haven't exactly got off to the best of starts with the Cambodian people. We'd like to say that Sihanoukville has changed all that but unfortunately not. We've been travelling for almost four months now and have covered Canada, Japan, …

We wake up about 1PM due to the excessive JD's the night before, and have some lunch, then head out to see Bubbles for our visa. She's not there, but her husband sorts us out. 'Nam, 11 October, here we come! We book the bus to PP, which is only $4, and a hostel, which is $5.50 per night. After thi…

The last four days have been spent doing nothing much but lying on our backs soaking up Cambodia's sun and gradually shrinking those white patches. It's a real rock n roll lifestyle we've fallen into here.... we get up fairly early and have an iced coffee and maybe a bit of brekkie, then take …

3 days in amazing Siem Reap + 3 days in chaotic Phnom Penh + 2 days in relaxing Sihanoukville = 8 days of fun, cultural, and education trip.

People i met here, who contributed to and improved my trip: Juliana (Russia), Jim (England), Kris and Isobella (Canada) Last time in Sihanoukville i'd stayed on Victory Beach, but decided to upgrade to the more expensive and prettier Occheuteal Beach for this visit. We met a Canadian couple called…
