Cambodia
Someday we will visit Koh Kong or begin to dream about going there! However, for now its not on our radar. Let us know in the comments if you think that should change!

Koh Kong

Koh Kong, or Krong Khemarak Phoumin, is the capital of Koh Kong Province in Cambodia's Cardamom Mountains. It is 8 km from Cham Yeam, which is connected by Cambodia's southernmost Thai border crossing to the Thai town of Hat Lek.

Until the end of the 1990s, Koh Kong was one of the least secure parts of the country. Elements of the Khmer Rouge based in the lower Cardamoms still posed a serious threat to locals and travellers. The area was the scene of intermittent fighting between the government and Democratic Kampuchea forces until 1998.

As of 2019, a deep-sea port is being developed in Koh Kong by Cambodian tycoon Ly Yong Phat.
