Koh Rong Sanloem

Just when you thought you’d seen paradise, you add a Sanloem and things get even better! Yep, Koh Rong’s smaller brother sits just to the south. You’ll need to negotiate with a local longboat driver to get there (the ride should cost a couple of dollars). Then, it’s across the choppy strait and into wide Saracen Bay. There, you can expect to find charming clutches of bamboo bungalows thatched with palm fronds, all facing sugar-soft sands, and a sea that’s a perfect turquoise. If you’re up for a trek through the jungle, Sunset Beach has stunning evening light shows to the west. Just be wary of the snakes!
