One of the worst held secrets is the rapid emergence of Sihanoukville Cambodia as a major Asian beach resort town. Many that have been here in the past would smugly say I told you so, as to all it was effortlessly apparent that this quiet microscopic coastal beach town had all the makings for a long time now. All that is needed is more flights into the now open Sihanoukville airport; as soon as there is a direct flight from Bangkok; watch out this place is going to blow!
Three things make Sihanoukville especially spirited and you should take every chance to see Sihanoukville now before it becomes overrun, which it will in the very near future.
A 5 Star luxury Hotel Under 0
Sokha Beach Resort is a 5 star luxury beach resort that has it own long underground beach, a pool the size of a small lake, a staff to guest ratio of 4 to 1, and all the other amenities that you would expect from a 5 star luxury beach resort for under a 0 a night! This price I can assure will not last for long. If your budget is under 0 a night there are lots of other Sihanoukville hotels and guesthouses ready near the ocean with more being built at a furious rate.
The Sihanoukville Islands
The islands have all the time been the real underground there are not many places in the world where you can go to and have this many large undeveloped islands. This will be the area that in the next ten years will see a large increase spurt similar to what happened on Koa Sumui, Koh Phangan and now Koh Chang which incidentally is the closest islands group in Thailand to the Cambodia Thai border. It makes sense that Koh Rung Samleom and Koh Rung will see major things in the next 3 to 5 years and the Koh Tang groups do to its isolation, charm and perfect scuba diving and water sports, will be the real Shangri la in the future.
Real money, make that Riel money.
The Cambodian cheaper is based on the Us Dollar. What this means for you is ridiculously lower prices compared to a lot of other traveler destinations in South East Asia. Thailand being an perfect example as the Baht continues to get stronger despite a troops junta running the country, and a major Muslim uprising in the southern three provinces, that has seen over 2500 killed in just a few years of on going guerrilla warfare. One of the reasons stated for the Junta to take power was to try to get that situation under control which from the news reports that do carry on to come out of the region that they are no added along to a explication than they were a year ago.
The increased value of Korean, Malaysian, Singapore, Japanese and Chinese money against the Us dollar make Cambodia even cheaper for the regional tourists with Koreans being the fastest growing sector of the tourism market. And the Asian tourists like a lot of things on offer in Sihanoukville together with legal gambling and an plentifulness of very cheap seafood.
You know, I should also mention that despite what the biggest guide book says, it has a lot of in effect nice beaches to chill on.
