In the end we decided to go to Koh Rong Saloem, koh Rongs neighbouring island. The more quiet an romantic island. The island only has generators on during the day and go off at 12. It also has no wifi and little in the way of entertainment besides reading your book and chilling on the beach.. Which we didn't mind! However when we got to our accommodation (which actually only had an outside shower and a bucket to flush the toilet) they told us we were 'lucky' there was a wedding next door and we'd caught the first day of the 3 day celebration. At first we thought it could be kinda fun when they cracked out the whiskey at 11am and had passed out by 3pm.. However they played this god awful music throughout the 2nd day and night. And on the day of the wedding, it started at 5am.. And didn't finish till 12pm... Not the biggest fan of Cambodian music.!
The children here run riot. There's no clear parenting, often with the teenagers looking after the younger (if they can be bothered) with the others hitting each other and going where they please. They also don't have any method of controlling the dog population.. There are family dogs and puppies everywhere, 3 litters of puppies in 3 consecutive houses along the beach front and they let them roam wherever they please. The younger children pick them up and play with them however they want.
