Koh Kong

Peam Krasop Wildlife Sanctuary in Koh Kong, Cambodia
Koh Kong is the capital of Koh Kong Province on the coast in the western part of Cambodia. It is lcoated near the mouth of the Kah Bpow River which empties into the Gulf of Thailand. Koh Kong is just about 10 km from the border with Thailand. It has a population of around 30,000 people (2012 estimate).

The town of Koh Kong is located to the south of the Cardamom Mountains. The Kah Bpow river flows from the Cardamoms and right through the town. Due to the rural nature of the town, it is a center for an illicit trade in wildlife. Many restaurants here also serve exotic meats.

There are minibuses and tourist air-conditioned buses between Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville with Koh Kong. They usually leave in the morning, arriving in Koh Kong in the afternoon.

It is also possible to reach Koh Kong from Thailand, from the border crossing of Cham Yeam, which is 10 km to the northeast of town.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
