From Thailand you can fly to Phnom Penh and then jump in a taxi or bus for a 45-minute journey to Sihanoukville. Three sides of the town border on tropical beaches, and there are a dozen islands nearby to visit, so make the most of the coast here and hire some diving gear or take a trip on a boat to explore the wildlife of island such as Koh Rong. If you're a keen hiker, why not spend a day trekking up Sihanoukville Mountain to have a look around the magnificent Wat Leu Buddhist temple.
