Most travellers see Koh Kong City only briefly as they pass through town on their way to or from the Thai border crossing, but that is gradually changing.

Koh Kong Province as a destination is only at the onset of its discovery since it remains largely unexplored. It offers a wealth of eco-tourism, adventure and beach hopping possibilities; and it serves as the most convenient base to explore other provinces.

The city, both paradoxically a sleepy provincial capital and a bustling border town, sits on the Kah Bpow River about 10km from the Thai border.
