Remote coastal town by mangroves and rainforest
A coastal town in southwestern Cambodia near the Thai border, set at a river mouth on the Gulf of Thailand. It has a small port and is a gateway to the Cardamom Mountains and mangrove forests.
Long a remote frontier district, Koh Kong opened up after a border bridge and coastal road linked it to Thailand and the rest of Cambodia. The surrounding Cardamoms hold some of Southeast Asia's largest remaining rainforest.
