Sihanouk
Ville is about 230 km southwest of Phnom Penh and boasts
the best beaches in the Kingdom. On weekends and public
holidays, the beaches are crowded with local Khmers,
tourists and expatriates. It is Cambodia’s only
maritime port.
Its chief attraction are the four beaches
that ring the headland. They are Ou Chheuteal Beach,
Popular Sokha Beach,Koh Pos Beach and Independence Beach.
Ratanakiri
(Banlung)
Banlung
is the provincial capital of Rattanakiri province
and the best base form which to explore the natural
attractions to the area.
You can also ask around town about arranging an elephant
ride in one of the surrounding villages. There are
numerous waterfalls in province. The three most commonly
visited are Cha Ong, Ka Tieng and Kinchan.
Mondulkiri
Mondulkiri
is another isolated province south of Ratanakiri,
nestled against Cambodia's eastern border with Vietnam.
Sen Monorom is the Capital of the province and the
only base from which to explore the Chunchiet villages
and picturesque waterfalls in the province.
Dolphin
Watching
The
fresh water Irrawaddy dolphin is an endangered species
in Cambodia and some experts believe there may be
as few as 60 left or stretches of the Mekong River
north of Kratie.
It is possible to see them about 15km north of the
town on the road to Stung Treng, particularly during
the dry season when water levels drop significantly
- early in the morning or late afternoon seem to be
the best times.
Preah
Vihear
The
important temple complex of Preah Vihear, built on
a crest of Dang Rek Mountains at an altitude of 730m,
dates from the reign of Suryavarman II (ruled 1002-49).This
is probably the most dramatic location of any temple
in Cambodia. The main drawback is that it is almost
inaccessible from Cambodia unless you have the funds
to charter a helicopter or are willing to spend a
few tough days getting there.
