The Coast In Kep , Kampot, Sihanoukville

The towns of southern Cambodia each sport their own unique character.<br /> Sihanouk Ville is a beach town, a sandy peninsula jutting into the warm Gulf of Thailand, the beaches offering crabshacks, 24-hour bars and everything from a laid back beach chair to an endless party vibe. Kampot is a quaint, lightly touristed old provincial town with classic colonial architecture and surround-ed by picturesque countryside. Kep too has hat edge-of-the-world feel, but a more natural<br /> setting - jungled mountains and local crab shacks at the ocean edge. Koh Kong astride he Cardamoms is a border town with casino, and a developing eco-tourism destination.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8i0-zDC67eBgIvCOwTXsnwurLu8uxQRY8CVRDE78iFAmznnQWxPQ-_zXkPHmZAlWk14XH6MKNJOvyjW0iCLB450f0vUwOI1CXZeTmOWYexL5zIVmHlHonZRFba-gLT1eUF-xGARYyYVk/s1600/cambodia+beach.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8i0-zDC67eBgIvCOwTXsnwurLu8uxQRY8CVRDE78iFAmznnQWxPQ-_zXkPHmZAlWk14XH6MKNJOvyjW0iCLB450f0vUwOI1CXZeTmOWYexL5zIVmHlHonZRFba-gLT1eUF-xGARYyYVk/s1600/cambodia+beach.jpg" /></a></div> <b>Getting to Sihanoukville</b><br /> Cambodia Angkor Air now offers regularly scheduled flights from Siem Reap to Sihanoukville.
