Sihanoukville

Sihanoukville (Kampong Som) is a coastal city and capital with the same name. It is located on a peninsula in the country’s south west on the Gulf of Thailand. The city is surrounded by coastal beaches and marsh lands bordering Ream National Park. The city has one navigable river, the Ou Trojak Jet running from Otres Pagoda to Otres. A number of islands are nearby which have seen recent development. In the last few years, the area has seen unprecedented levels of Chinese investment with around 100 casinos opening up in the city.
