40 minutes by fast boat.
Koh Rong Sihanoukville Cambodia
Koh Rong Sihanoukville Cambodia is only 40 minutes by fast boat. It seems a little like Koh Samui 25 years ago, lots of backpackers & hippies.

A very fast smooth ride.
Koh Rong Sihanoukville Cambodia Pommie backpackers
There were 4 or 5 English backpackers shrieking to each other over the engine noise, as you can see Steve is not too impressed. 🙂
Our first glimpse of the island.
It was like travelling back in time. 🙂
Vagabonds
Vagabonds cafe I’m sure has seen it’s share of vagabonds, however this is the first visit by the famous FiveStarVagabond. 🙂 🙂 🙂
The Rising Sun
We settled here for a couple of cold beers and a Phad Thai, the place is run by 3 friendly Italians from Milano.
And here they are…..
Living the dream on Koh Rong Sihanoukville Cambodia.
Hard at work
Well somebody has to do the heavy lifting. 🙂
Crystal clear water here.
As you would expect for a tropical island.
The essence of Koh Rong
This shot captures the essence of Koh Rong for me, a lazy tropical island full of backpackers & hippies.
Talking about backpackers…..
Here is a perfect example, sadly I arrived 30 years too late. 🙂
Guess I’ll go fishing instead. 🙂
Crystal clear water & lots of fish big & small.

A nice way to explore the island would be to hire a log tail boat.
Life is very very casual here.
You can rent a room overlooking the beach for around $10 USD per night.

Back to Sihanoukville
We had a bigger boat which took 5 minutes longer.
Sadly this lovely coastal village is never going to be the same, just read THIS STORY.
