 Koh
Kong
is
the
most
southwestern
province
of
Cambodia.
It
is
one
of
the
biggest
provinces
in
the
whole
country
with
a
long
undeveloped
coastline
and
a
mountainous,
forested
and
largely
inaccessible
interior,
which
embraces
part
of
the
Cardamom
Mountains,
the
biggest
coherent
rainforest
of
Southeast
Asia.
Its
tourist
attractions
include
abundant
wildlife;
big
waterfalls
and
casinos
on
the
border
to
Thailand,
while
an
Export
Processing
Zone
and
new
port
facilities
are
being
developed
for
international
trade. |

The
province
is
an
increasingly
popular
gateway
to
Cambodia
from
Hat
Lek
in
southern
Thailand,
in
part
of
the
reasonably
direct
access
to
the
port
and
beach
resort
town
of
Sihanoukville.
While
this
was
previously
a
gruelling
journey
by
boat
and
pickup
on
rough
bumpy
roads
using
small
ferries
at
river
crossings,
the
donation
by
the
Thai
government
of
new
road
infrastructure
is
improving
access
greatly.

The
name
means
"
Kòng
Island
Province".
Its
capital
is
Krong
Koh
Kong,
which
is
located
in
the
West
of
the
province
right
next
to
the
Thai
border.
The
city
is
surrounded
with
a
large
forested
area
connected
to
the
mainland
by
bridges
and
ferries.
It's
generally
a
quiet
town,
but
there
are
many
reasons
to
stay
in
Koh
Kong
for
more
than
one
night
such
as
the
nearby
islands,
rivers,
tours
into
the
nature
and
the
buzzing
nightlife.
The
people
of
Koh
Kong
speak
mainly
Khmer,
and
most
speak
some
Thai
as
well.
You
can
also
find
many
Chinese
and
Vietnamese
speakers
as
well
as a
lot
of
broken
English.

|
|
Your
stay
here
will
be
economical
as
lodging,
food
and
transportation
is
relatively
cheap
here.
Please
make
this
place
a
stop
on
your
travels
through
S.E.
Asia
and
you
won't
be
disappointed.
