Introducing Ream National Park
Just 18km east of Sihanoukville, Ream National Park – also known as Preah Sihanouk National Park – comprises 150 sq km of primary forests (mostly lowland evergreen forest and mangrove swamps) and 60 sq km of marine habitats. It’s home to breeding populations of a number of regionally and globally endangered birds of prey, including the Brahminy kite, grey-headed fish-eagle and white-bellied sea-eagle – look for them soaring over Prek Toeuk Sap Estuary, which is salty in the dry season and freshwater in the wet season. Endangered birds that feed on the mudflats include the lesser adjutant, milky stork and painted stork. The park’s more common feathered residents include the great egret, little egret, woolly-necked stork, black-capped kingfisher and stork-billed kingfisher.

Ream’s profusion of colourful butterflies includes multiple species of Hesperiidae, Lycaenidae, Nymphalidae, Papilionidae and Pieridae. All sorts of gleaming damselflies make their home in the park, too.
