Introducing Krong Koh Kong
Once Cambodia’s Wild West, its frontier economy dominated by smuggling, prostitution and gambling, Krong Koh Kong has recently taken big steps towards respectability. The city centre is still scruffy but new midrange hotels are going up, especially along the landscaped riverfront, and ecotourism promises to transform the town into the gateway to some of Southeast Asia’s most breathtaking coastal and mountain habitats. Koh Kong Conservation Corridor highlights accessible from here include Peam Krasaop Wildlife Sanctuary, Koh Kong Island, the west coast of Botum Sakor National Park and several waterfalls.
