Koh Rong Samloem

I left Kampot at around 10.30/11 on the 28th February to get to Koh Rong Samleom. My journey included a 3ish hour bus and an hour long ferry.
As per all my journeys in SEA - the 6 hour journey turned into 8 😅
It was a very very bumpy ride in the minibus - driving on terrible roads.
I arrived at the pier in Koh Rong Samleom at around 3.45pm.
I hadn't done too much research - but I didn't realise there were no roads on this part of the island, so I had to get a taxi boat to my hostel.
I stayed at Onederz. It was right on the beach and had a very relaxed vibe.
I was only supposed to stay here 3 nights, however, an hour after arriving I decided to extend my stay another night.
I spent the next few days eating, reading, chilling at the beach.
A Canadian friend I met in Kampot arrived on my second day, we ended up signing up to some scuba diving on the Friday - it was a lot of fun!
Another friend, Dorothee who I met in Don Det arrived on the Saturday and we spent the evening walking to the other side of the island to find the other beach. 🏝️
Food:
- I mainly ate at the hostel (really lazy of me)
- but one of my favourite dishes on the island was a vegetable cashew curry which I had at Sweet Times restaurant!!
I really enjoyed my time here - relaxing and saving energy for my time in Vietnam!!Read more
