| How To Choose A Great Beach Vacation At A Great Beach Resort In Cambodia

A beach vacation in Cambodia is just about the last thing you think of when the word Cambodia is mentioned . Your mind immediately goes to the magnificent Angkor Wat , or the palaces and war memorials of Phnom Penh.
Unbeknown to many on the south Coast of Cambodia are some great
beaches, some as yet undeveloped beach resorts and some great hotel
accommodation.

The beach resorts of Cambodia really must be part of any holiday in Cambodia.
Making a start in Sihanoukville where you will find an empty white sand
beach, a clear blue sky and a blue-turquoise shimmering ocean. Cambodia
once war torn is now at peace, and tourism is now a large part of the
economy, but when the name Cambodia is mentioned, most people think of
temples, and Angkor. At last the government in Cambodia has begun to
see the huge sense in diversifying their tourism to include some
wonderfully still unspoilt beaches.
First and foremost, to get to the south coast beaches from Phnom Penh
it will take roughly three and a half hours, on what are nowadays very
good roads, and this will cost you about USD55 by taxi. You can take
the bus for the experience and they leave from the central market.
The premier beach resort is at Sihanoukville, and although there is
still the bullet and shell pocked ruins of mansions still visible to
remind tourists of the bad old days of the war and the Khmer Rouge,
there are a number of high quality hotels and guesthouses with more
promised. If you want to take a beach vacation in Cambodia then it
would be good to go before the developments disturb the peace and
quiet. One of the top two hotels in Sihanoukville is the Sokha Beach
Resort, and its bookings are doubling year on year. With half a dozen
white sand beaches in the vicinity you need not be a brain surgeon to
see what is happening.
Take a diving trip to the island of Koh Tang, where the last battle of
the Vietnam war was fought, and the water is so clear and teeming with
fish, but be warned there are 61 coastal islands, and their development
has begun.
Today a holiday in Cambodia at a beach resort is apparently just the
way it was in Thailand before tourism spoiled things, and at the moment
food and drink is unbelievably cheap.
Drive for a couple of hours along the coast and you will come to Kep,
where the beach although not as good as at Sihanoukville the pace of
life is just so slow and appealing. This is where the French built
their villas when they were in power, and again development is taking
place.
Be warned the airport at Sihanoukville is being developed to accommodate jets and in future jumbos.
The best reason of all to consider a beach vacation in Cambodia is wonderful unspoilt beaches, improving international standard hotels, good food. However do it now before it is spoilt forever.
