Sihanoukville (Sihanoukville)
Sihanoukville (Sihanoukville) – City on the coast of the Siamese Bay in the south of Cambodia, the main sea port of the country and the developing beach resort. Located 230 km south-west of Phnom Pen. Population – 89,846 people (2008).
The city arose in the 50s of the 20th century, at the beginning as a port, and later the elite resort (until 1970). After the end of the Civil War, since the 1990s, it develops as a sea beach resort, hotels are being built and tourist infrastructure develops.
There is nothing particular in Sianville, the main local attractions are beaches and nearby islands (with good diving conditions).
One of the local islands – Koh Puos (Snake Island), located 800 meters from Victory Beach, belongs to our investors. A sea bridge from Hawaii Beach is open to the island and the construction of an island resort continues.
Sihanoukville beaches are not so crowded, as in many Thai resorts, except for weekends and on holidays. It is also worth noting that the beaches are pretty dirty, as the garbage is not always cleaned and not often.
On the beaches there are scooters, bananas and unpretentious water slides.
