Sokha Beach Resort Sihanoukville
October 29, 2017by David Herd
Ideal spot to chill out
Sokha Beach Resort Sihanoukville
Sokha Beach Resort Sihanoukville has a great pool & a beautiful private sandy beach. Exceptional food & very good rooms, what more could you possibly want? 🙂
Pool bar
Cocktails or a cold beers at the pool bar.
There are two room sections, we stayed at the cheaper option, the Sokha Express. You still have full use of all the facilities, for a great room rate just book through THIS LINK.
Rarely were there many pople in the pool which made it absolutely ideal.
But wait, there’s more……
The beautiful beach has pure white sand and warm tropical water.
The beach goes on forever, where are the people???
Generally Asian people like to stay out of the sun so us foreigners have the place to ourselves. 🙂
The main building
Breakfast is served here & it’s as good as it gets a you can imagine.
The property is huge
The deck is around 500 meters from the main building & pool. It’s worth the walk however, you have the choice of two excellent restaurants, Lemongrass & the Lotus.
Why do they call it “The Deck”?
Well it’s pretty bloody obvious if you ask me. 🙂
Lemongrass Restaurant
Food was very good & the place almost deserted.
Soup to die for.
I really do love my soup.
Serendipity Beach
This is where most people dine at night, it’s the net beach & all the action is here. Only a 10 minute Tuk Tuk ride.
Tuk Tuk
The ten minute ride to Serendipity is only $2 or $3 USD.
Lovely ladies They were working at a wedding that was in the hotel grounds.
This is supposed to be happy hour. 🙂
Nobody looks happy, & in fact there certainly were not. 🙂
Drinks are 2 for one at happy hour between 5 & 7 pm.
Pizzas & burgers are reasonably priced as well.
The Beach Bar
Sadly is closes around 7.30 pm.
I guess they want you at their casino.
Part of the hotel & when we went there there were more staff than customers.
Sadly this lovely coastal village is never going to be the same, just read THIS STORY.
My history, particularly over the last 30 years is dominated by overseas travel. I sold my home in Australia October 20th 2011 and have have been living in Thailand since then. I don’t know where the time has gone? It seems like you go to sleep one night, wake up the next morning, and 20 years have flashed by. Not sure how many years I have left, however I have enjoyed a wonderful charmed life, and if it all ended today I would leave this world with no regrets.
I was born in Sydney halfway through the last century, started my travels in the 60s with the usual U.K. Europe adventure at the age of 20, back to Australia and worked in Sydney, Melbourne & Adelaide in Sales & Marketing with multinational companies including Sanyo, Canon & Remington.
Engaged to be married 3 times and never quite made it to the alter, finally realized by the mid 90s I was not cut out for "long term relationships" so I moved to the Gold Coast in Queensland in January 1987, worked for a couple of banks as a Financial Planner, I took a year off work in 1998 to travel and never went back to full time work again, after 25 fun filled years on the Coast I packed up and moved to Thailand.
What is the purpose of this blog? Well I really want to use it to record my travel experiences & to display my photographs, give and receive travel tips, comment on places I visit, restaurants I eat in and use it to replace the autobiography I intended to write, apart from all that it helps me fill in my day. :)
I moved to Thailand mainly because I wanted to keep travelling while my health allowed me to, there are huge advantages being closer to all the places I want to visit.
Cost of living in Thailand is around 35% of the cost in Australia, plus flights are 50% cheaper because you are much closer to everywhere. ????
Consequently I am able to travel to many more places compared to living in Australia.
Having said all that, it is & has always been my intention to return to Australia when my travelling is finished, I predict this will happen around 2021.
