Blog : Koh Kong We awoke early in Sihanoukville and packed up all out stuff to catch the bus we'd booked further west to Koh Kong, an Eco tourism town up in the Cardamon mountains, that was apparently yet to be discovered by the masses an where treks and overnight stay in the jungle were the activities of choice. We were all staying around in the front bar area of the Led Zephyr hostel in Sihanoukville, which over looked our pick up location, where we'd been to...

We got up, packed and checked out of our room, ready for the 7am bus, which didn't bloody show up until after eight in the morning - ggrrrr!
