| | 92 | There are many guesthouses and small hotels in the
central part of town and on the riverside street,
partially thanks to Thais who come to Cambodia for
gambling (the big casino can be seen on the way
from the border). Basic guesthouse room with fan
costs USD8 - 10. For USD10 and more you'll get an
air-con room in a guesthouse or hotel. As is often
the case in Asia, the cheapest places and room
rates are usually those found "on the spot" on
arrival. Motorbike taxi drivers will be happy to
take you to a guesthouse or hotel of their choice
if you're not sure where to go. Ask them (and note
how far from the centre is it) and the price.
Alternatively, walk around and look for
accommodation yourself: the town is quite small.
South of the town there is a small group of 12
islands called the Koh Sdach archipelago. This
area has white sandy beaches, crystal clear seas,
and paradisaical islands. It's a must for any
traveller visiting coastal Cambodia. Accommodation
is only available on two of the islands, Koh Sdach
and Koh Toteung, and room rates are from
USD10–120. |

Reach, Tann Tay, Raksmey Koh Kong, Dong Tong,
