Welcome to Koh Kong Cambodia. The new bridge and the road to Phnom Penh is now open. Koh Kong is a quaint and interesting border village that shouldn't be missed. Stop and enjoy us while traveling through SE Asia. Villages like Koh Kong are getting very rare nowadays. Children say hello, ice is cut by hand and although life is slow it is very enjoyable.
Kos Kong is a vast but sparsely populated province in Cambodia's southwest, where the overwhelming majority of the population live along the coastline and where the mountains remain untamed. Not surprisingly, fishing is the main source of income for most residents.
The shrimp farming industry introduce from Thailand died a quick death, leaving many Cambodian entrepreneurs penniless- see the boxed text 'Prawn Cracker's later for more on this sorry tale.
Tourism is tiny, as most people are transiting from Thailand to Sihanuokville only, but there is great potential for future growth t6hanks to the incredible beaches lining Boutum Sakor National park and nearby islands like Kos Kong-yes, confusingly enough, the province and island share the same name. Diving of the coast and ecotourism in the upcountry jungle will take off, but for now, you are effectively on your own.
