Koh Kong

Koh Kong is the western coastal province that borders Thailand at Cham Yeam / Hat Lek. It is used by travellers heading to or from Trat and Koh Chang, and also offers access to Cardamom foothills scenery and nearby islands.

A private taxi to Koh Kong from Phnom Penh or Sihanoukville is the most comfortable overland option when the border is open.

Why book a private car to Koh Kong?

• Direct service to town or the Cham Yeam border area
• Better for luggage and timing than shared transport
• Can be combined with coastal stops

Practical tips

• Check current Thailand–Cambodia border status before travel
• See Phnom Penh to Koh Kong and Sihanoukville to Koh Kong
• Visa and border formalities are your responsibility

Must-see details

• Tatai Waterfall: Scenic boat ride upriver to cascading falls and swimming pools.
• Peam Krasop Wildlife Sanctuary: Elevated mangrove boardwalk with wildlife viewing tower.
• Cardamom Mountains / Chi Phat: Jungle treks, kayaking, and community-based eco-tourism.
• Koh Kong Island: Remote beaches reachable by boat.

Sample 2-day itinerary

• Day 1: Tatai Waterfall boat trip + Peam Krasop mangrove walk.
• Day 2: Chi Phat jungle day trek or island beach trip.

Practical notes: Base in Koh Kong town. Private transfers from Sihanoukville or Phnom Penh work well.
