Cambodia: Sikhanoukville






It was my birthday and I told myself I want to spend it on the beach. From the capital of Cambodia  (Phnom Penh), I headed down to Sihanoukville also known as Kampong Som. It wasn't as impressive as the beaches back home, but it is good enough to relax at the beach and so I spent my time just sitting or lying down listening to the waves while staring at the sky.

How to get here:

Coming from Phnom Phen, Cambodia, I got in what they call a hotel bus going there. It is a bus with bunk beds where you can sleep through out the journey.
Fare: 12 USD
Travel Time: 4 1/2 hours

From the Bus terminal you can hire a tuktuk to your hotel
Fare 2USD




The main attraction here are the beaches. I first went to Ochheauteal Beach which is by far the most popular and touristed in town.




A lot of vendors selling snacks and food in the area and here are some of my favorites:







Since I'm looking for a more peaceful place, I headed to Otres Beach which less crowded than Ochheauteal beach.

It has more relaxed atmosphere.
