Koh Kong is a province in southwest Cambodia known for its diverse and picturesque landscapes ranging from dense forests and mountains to coastal mangroves and islands. It is bordered by the Gulf of Thailand to the west and Cardamom Mountains to the east, offering a mixture of ecological and adventurous attractions, including the Peam Krasop Wildlife Sanctuary and Koh Kong Island. The city of Koh Kong serves as the provincial capital positioned near the Thai border, making it a popular entry point for tourists coming overland. Koh Kong also provides access to the larger Koh Kong Conservation Corridor, a vital area for wildlife conservation and ecological research. This area features ecotourism opportunities such as trekking, river safaris, and mangrove explorations. With its remote beaches and undeveloped islands, Koh Kong is growing in popularity among travelers looking for a more secluded and natural experience. The Chi Phat community-based ecotourism project located within the Cardamom Mountains invites visitors to experience sustainable tourism practices while engaging in activities like bird watching, mountain biking, and jungle trekking.
