Sihanoukville - Hmmm?
Sihanoukville - a difficult name to say. A Beach town in the making - seems like they are just getting the idea of tourism and the word is that the hope is for these few beaches to become the new Phuket. The beaches are lovely yet the area ...
Beach Life
ONE BIG PARTY!!!! Well what can i say this place is crazy, full moon part after full moon party it never stops. With a beer for 50 cent and bucket of vodka for 4 dollars no wonder there is such a party. Mainly just sun bathing and getting ...
Hell in Heaven !
... the bus and just took in the amazing scenery along the roadside. There was not a VACANT spot basically between Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville. There were huts, businesses and eating houses lining one side if not both sides of the road all along the way. ...
R+R on the south coast of Cambodia
... beach: there are things such as laundry, internet (ticked off the list now), etc. So it's a bit more active today. Sihanoukville is beautiful - it's the last thing you think of in relation to Cambodia: beautiful white sand beaches and clear blue warm ...
Sihanoukville was paradise except for....
... in Phnom Penh, we spent one night in an overly touristy area by the river, The bus ride from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville was not particularly interesting, but the countryside was pretty green, and we got to see rice fields being plowed with wooden ...
The seaside at last!
Sihanoukville is a more chilled place and a welcome relief after Phnom Penh. We arrived two days ago, on a definitely seen better days coach with possibly leather possibly plastic seats (nice and sweaty!). It took just over four hours to get here ...
Last beach day (for some)
Hired electric bikes to get to Victory Beach (sorry Tim but the bikes where heavy with the battery so we had to have the electric power). There was the usual crazy traffic to around the market, and a bit of a bumpy road down to the beach ...
Fab beach resort
Cambodia's beach town sadly isn't quite as nice as those in Thailand but it certainly makes a good effort with miles of white sand and a good selection of bars. Its major let down was the thriving community of plastic bags that lived in the sea and that ...
Not quite "The Beach"
I got to Sihanoukville yesterday. This is Cambodia's answer to Thailand's beach resorts. Although the jury is still out on whether this will become a casino town, a red light Pattaya or a Ko Pha-Ngan. Time will tell. The main reason for coming here ...
time to relax!
White sand, very quiet (is the low season. moonsoon) and looks like we're going to have a few nice relaxing days ahead of us. The bungalow we found is a few meters from the sea (which is hot like broth) and does just fine! Food is good (had some nice BBQ ...
Nov 22 - Nov 26
The seaside town of Sihanoukville is about a five hour drive form Phnom Pehn. Steve had been there a few days and already had a guesthouse arranged so there was no messing around with touts. Although there was no taxi cars or tuk ...
Beach ala Cambodia
... Hailey, who where encouraging us to meet them there. Glad we did. Though not quite as amazing as Ko Samet in Thailand, Sihanoukville was beautiful and pretty relaxing. We met lots of friends. Caroline got a pedicure, while I enjoyed a foot massage on ...
Another day in paradise
... nice Asian pair of pants.. and a nice red top.. Another great day.. Slowly we will look into our Vietnam plans.. As we leave Sihanoukville on Tuesday.. To go to Phnom Penh.. and then from there to Saigon aka Ho Shi Minh City.. I reckon Vietnam will also ...
Couldn't stay away from the beach
So after a bit of culture in Saigon and Phnom Penh, it was back to the beach life. Sihanoukville is Cambodia's main beach resort and although not very developed its getting there. We we there in low season but that didn't stop us chilling on the beach til ...
Burned to a crisp
Well my friends. I had a beautiful day and while I put sunscreen on 3 times I managed to get myself so burned I have no patience to sit and fight the computer to upload and lay out a bunch of photos. So no photos today I went on a boat trip to three ...
Hammock or sun lounger?
... to say it was only a little bug and the next day I managed to get the bus down to the coastal town of Sihanoukville. My brother's advice of 'never leave your room without your electronic items not charged' was fully appreciated on the journey down.One of ...
The South Coast
Sihanoukville is Cambodia's premiere beach resort. This isn't saying an awful lot. The beaches are very nice and I'm sure it can be charming but in the rainy season it had all the atmosphere of seedy English seaside town in winter (just at 40 degrees). ...
Beaches and beer..
After a few days in the bustling capital city we decide to see a bit of the coast and head down to Sihanoukville, Cambodia's main beach holliday area. Catching a bus early out of Phnom Penh we get in around 13.00, the bus journey (for once!) being ...
Blah
During the day Sihanoukville is a funny place, with the town being split up into 3 areas all a few kilometer apart. I'm at serendipity beach which is meant to have most of the activity whereas the town centre isn't very impressive, mostly used for ...
Gid Sunset
... I gave him 2000 riel (half a dollar) anyway. Paddy and I went for a cycle in the evening because there are three parts to Sihanoukville, so we thought we'd check out the part we hadn't seen yet. It was a cycle which involved many ups and downs ...
Snoopyville
Blog Writer: Jen We decided to spend our last 4 days of Cambodia in Sihanoukville. Its Cambodia’s answer to a seaside resort. We got a bus down to the south coast which took 4 hours from Phnom Penh and arrived in a dusty car park greeted by some ...
A Short Stop in Sihanoukville
... from hell again - just a flat tire - minor problem compared to what we faced on the way down. We arrived in Sihanoukville, a beachside town - at a ridiculous hour and had to maneuver through dark alleys using my mini flashlight and stumble over ...
Life would have been a beach, if they had one
After a 13 hour bus journey, stopping in Phnom Penh for a change over we arrived at Sihanoukville quite late, it was Chinese New Year so most of the accomodation was booked up and we couldn't find anything decent that we were willing to pay for. We ...
mmmm...Barracuda!
That was a surprise! The Barracuda fish is absolutely delicious! We are really enjoying it and order it for nearly every meal! We just thought it deserved an entry on the blog! ...also 50cent beers are pretty nice too! ...

Sihanoukville
Hello everyone, We are currently in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. It's the "beachy" area of the country, although not as beautiful as some of the beaches in Thailand. It's a busy little town with various markets, restaurants, and accomodations ...
