Since Cambodia reopened its borders to tourists in the early 1990s, visitors from around the world have flocked to this intriguing Southeast Asian country to experience its fascinating cultural heritage, to engage with the wonderfully welcoming locals, and to marvel at the numerous spectacular natural wonders Cambodia has to offer. Phnom Penh, the nation’s bustling capital, is home to a slew of excellent restaurants, lively outdoor markets and a boisterous nightlife. However, most of Cambodia’s most popular attractions are located beyond the capital. Tourist favourites include: the sleepy French-influenced town of Kampot with its lovely promenade dotted with gorgeous French villas and charming riverside cafes; the breathtaking waterfalls of the lush jungle-clad Cardamon Mountains; and, of course, the awe-inspiring ancient temple complex of Angkor Wat - the world’s largest and arguably most impressive religious structure. Cambodia serves travellers of all sensitivities, whether they're seeking adventurous jungle excursions, exquisite golden-sand beaches, luxury resorts or sumptuous exotic cuisine, Cambodia truly does have it all.
Situated in the Gulf of Thailand of the coast of Cambodia, Koh Russey Island or Bamboo Island falls within the Sihanoukville Province. Set less than an hour boat ride from the popular tourist town of Sihanoukville, this tropical island boasts white sand beaches lapped by calm, crystal-clear waters. The island offers an array of wonderful activities such as fishing, swimming, snorkeling surfing, and deep sea diving. Stroll on stunning beaches, discover the lush mysterious jungle, stay in a beachside bungalow and fall asleep to the sounds of the waves lapping the shore.
