| Ochheuteal beach Sihanoukville |
On from Kampot to Sihanoukville, Cambodia's main beach resort town. It's still very much early days, but the signs of development are here, and the town seems to be going somewhere in between a Pattaya and Nha Trang style of development. For the time being it's all pretty low key, with beach shacks serving seafood and drinks with plenty of beach loungers and vendors hanging about. Some of the beaches have already been bought up, and Cambodia seems to be going down the route of private beaches and expensive resorts.

But we're not here for Sihanoukville this time... just a night in town then we're off to the Islands, Lazy Beach Bungalows on one of the islands as yet untouched by development.
Two and a half hours by boat from town (passing the USS Essex - a medium Aircraft Carrier doing excercises with the Cambodian Navy and sending a Super Sea Stallion to check us out), Lazy beach is the perfect get away from Phnom Penh. Simplicity into perfection. One relatively small beach with 14 simple wooden bungalows and no other resorts, karaoke, vendors, villages etc. Just natural beach, excellent for swimming, surrounded by rocky hills still covered with primary forest cover.
