Chill Out in Tropical Sihanoukville <2009.10.30>

Our last stop in Cambodia leads us to Sihanoukville – the most famous beach area – about 230km south of the capital.



Still (slowly) under development, it features real backpacker atmosphere along the small beach line and the hidden back alleys.



Here you can go for a swim, sip on your favorite cocktail, order some local delights or get pampered by one of the massage ladies who offer everything from manicure to head massage or hair removal with simple rubber bands ;-)





For the more deserted beaches we rent a scooter and drove to the very end of Otres beach which is a real Gem all for ourselves.





The southern Islands of Sihanounkville are famous for pristine waters and good diving grounds. So we went out with “The Dive Shop” for 2 boat dives which surprised with a great diversity in macro live - much better than Vietnam.













This is already the end of our Cambodia trip which went by too quickly. Surprised by the great hospitality of the people, the beauty of the country and rich cultural heritage it is definitely a place to return.



I`ll be Back
