Sihanoukville, Cambodia Port

Sihanoukville is one of Cambodia’s best-kept secrets – a beautiful resort where you can enjoy spectacular unspoiled beaches. Situated off the Gulf of Thailand, the waters are crystal-clear and sparkling, offering ample opportunity to try snorkelling and scuba diving should you wish to explore the many tropical fish species under the surface, while the off-shore islands are also perfect if you want to try big game fishing. The pristine sands are the ideal place to unwind for a few hours and soak up some sun, before heading to one of Sihanoukville’s many exceptional seafood restaurants to sample the fine cuisine.

Cambodia is renowned for its majestic temples, and Sihanoukville doesn’t disappoint. Wat Krom overlooks the ocean on a small hill, while Wat Leu sits atop a mountain above the town itself, with each offers beautiful architecture and historic treasures. There’s also Wat Ream, a temple with a huge reclining Buddha statue, situated at the heart of the Ream National Park nearby where you’ll also find mangroves, jungles and a wealth of bird and monkey species.

The currency in Sihanoukville is the Cambodian Riel, although US Dollars are widely accepted. Sihanoukville is 7 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT +7).
