Getting to Koh Rong

Question

Getting on Koh Rong

Answer

You have 2 options: TKI Airport (Cambodias international airport) -> drive to Sihnukville ferry port (3/4 hours) -> Ferry ride (30 mins) on flat waters (due to the gulf it is protected by). And then you will have arrived in paradise! If you plan your journey to arrive to Phnom Penh Monday 29th, we will provide a coach to head to the ferry port all together. Crisp cold beers provided to get you through the journey (and to put up with Paul Smeeton!). At this moment in time this is the most common route. It is worth mentioning there is an airport at Koh Rong ferry port. At the moment, there are limited direct flights from Phnom Penh, Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), and Bangkok (Thailand), with a few additional connections from China. We don’t recommend staying overnight in Sihanoukville — it’s best to continue straight to the island.
