Island
Accommodations
Many of the accommodations are
quite rustic - wooden bungalows and rooms on the beach,
though more mid and upper range places are becoming
available. It's best to reserve a room in advance,
especially in the high season. On the busier beaches you can
often find a vacancy but the selection may be limited. If
you are not staying on one of the beaches serviced by the
ferry, ask your guesthouse about a transport to their beach
or island.

Koh Rong Island
(Map
of Koh Rong)
The largest and most developed of the
islands is Koh Rong, located 40-50 minutes by express ferry or 2.5
hours by standard ferry. This island is one of the most beautiful in
the archipelago, with miles of white sand beaches, gently swaying
palms and tropical fruit orchards. It also has one of the most
‘developed’ beaches - Koh Toch - at least in terms of the number of
bungalows, guesthouses and restaurants.
Koh Rong offers dozens of guesthouses and bungalows and more are
springing up every day, ranging from dormitories and inexpensive
home stays to flashpacker accommodations and fancier, well-appointed
family-sized bungalows.

The Islands...
A side destination from Sihanoukville just a couple of years
ago, the islands of the Koh Rong
(map) Archipelago
have become destinations in their own right. Set in the
turquoise-blue waters of the Gulf of Thailand 40-50 minutes off
the Sihanoukville coast, the two big islands of Koh Rong and Koh
Rong Sanloem are the most popular. Both have yet to see major
development and though there are bungalows and resorts dotting
most of the beaches, the islands still maintain a laid-back
rustic charm not easily found elsewhere. The smaller islands of
the archipelago like Koh Thmei and Koh Ta Kiev are
completely undeveloped and offer a true Robinson Crusoe
atmosphere. Most of the islands are slated for major
development, so if you're looking to appreciate the rustic
atmosphere, go sooner rather than later.
