About Downtown:
Located 230 kilometres southwest of the capital city Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville is a place to unwind, savour fresh from-the-ocean seafood, go snorkeling or scuba diving and generally slow-down and chill-out. White sand beaches and warm Gulf of Thailand waters provide a great little tropical getaway centred around this charming and unique fishing port.
An increasing number of foreign visitors are discovering Sihanoukville, with its , thatched roofed restaurants, grass umbrellas and relaxed pace. The area has an ample supply of accommodation, including a brand new resort complex on Sokha Beach, several mid-range places downtown and at the beaches, a few 'upscale' three-star hotels, and standard guesthouses, around on Weather Station Hill.
Additional attractions include the Kbal Chhay waterfalls, the Bokor Hills and the Ream National Park close by.
Also known as Kompong Som, Sihanoukville can be described as 'a beach town', port and emerging resort destination. The pace of life is very relaxed and it's a place to unwind, enjoy the fresh-from-the-ocean seafood, take a snorkeling or scuba trip, and generally slow-down, chat and chill-out.
Accommodation ranges from new resorts on Sokha Beach, mid-range places downtown, a few 'upscale' three-star hotels at the beach plus dozens of budget guesthouses. The town has a surprising number of restaurants and bars offering foreign food, pool tables, movies and music. There's even a casino open 24 hours a day.
