Sihanoukville is a rather sleepy coastal town
around 230
km southwest of Phnom Penh.
Sihanoukville has no past, it was placed on a cleared
piece of jungle in the 1950 ties to build Cambodia's only
deep water port. Now Sihanoukville has a bright
future..the tourist are coming in large
quantities.
You will find some useful information on
this beach city in Cambodia, a pretty
Sihanoukville beach, some Sihanoukville
guesthouse and hotel at Sihanoukville. Trips
from Sihanoukville to Phnom Penh and Angkor
should be on every agenda of a Cambodian travel
trip. Also a trip from Sihanoukville to the
nearby Bokor National Park is a great
experience.
The hotels and beach resort
are not as sophisticated as some hotels at
Angkor in particular as a luxury Angkor hotel.
The main reason to visit Sihanoukville is
probably to have a great time at the beaches
around Sihanoukville and the islands in front of
the coast of Sihanoukville.
The islands and coastal beaches are not as
developed as lets say
Patong beach at Phuket
and other beaches in Thailand but this is
probably nothing negative, rather positive.
Check paradise beach, Victoria beach,
independence beach, Hawaii beach Ochheuteal
beach, nightlife is rather quiet if you like it
hot try
Phuket nightlife.
There are no major Khmer temples and
monuments

around for this you have to travel to Angkor
maybe partly on the Mekong would be a
great journey. A good bus service out of the
capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh makes it easy to
go there quickly.
Sihanoukville downtown
is in central position on this small peninsular
which makes it easy to reach every location
quick, especially Sihanouk beaches since the
streets to the beaches a large boulevards but
when the beach area is reached often the last
part of the road is a real bad dirt road. Plenty
of lower priced hotels and guesthouses are
around, shopping centers plus the usual
infrastructure such as banks bars and
restaurants are also in this area, actually this
area is not very large, with a motorbike taxi
every location can be reached within a couple of
minutes. |

Don't rent a
motorcycle in Phnom Penh and do it on your own, its
similar dangerous as in Thailand since no one cares
about
any traffic rules and if you have a accident there is no
qualified hospital around where you can be moved to. I
have seen several smashed "white guys" laying on the
road to Phnom Penh after an accident.
A couple of pretty beaches are around the city.
Don't expect a infrastructure like in Thailand,
everything is very basic. Only recently has the first
upper market beach resort opened the door for business. The whole
area is in a state of flux since many people try to do
some business on tourism. The normality is, go there and
have a look, all what you need is there, internet,
restaurants, accommodations from $5 - guesthouse - to $250
- Sokha Beach Resort. |
A interesting nightlife is on at
Ochheuteal beach
with beach
barbeque, bars
and lounges where one can find a companion and so on. But exactly
this back to basic has its charm. Plenty of
sea food is available in countless
restaurants
and the beach is only a couple of meters away, so what
else one needs?
A very good dinner is secured at one
of the open air barbeque stalls
between the bars and the beach
itself, this is all fresh and they
handle it in front of you. In the
back is modern music, Hip Hop in
English and sometimes in Thai
language, the Cambodians rather
prefer old fashion style, not all,
of course.
