The cool season in Cambodia runs from November to January. This is when the temperature hovers around 21-31\u00b0C. Cambodia can get pretty warm, and these months are the best time to explore Cambodia pleasantly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Best Islands of Cambodia<\/span><\/h2>\n

Many travellers don\u2019t realise that Cambodia isn\u2019t just landlocked with temples; it also has a coastline and numerous islands. In fact, Cambodia is home to 66 islands and 8 smaller islets, offering plenty of gems to explore.<\/p>\n

Koh Rong Island<\/span><\/h3>\n

Located near Sihanoukville, this Cambodian island of Koh Rong is the most popular in the whole of Cambodia! The island is approximately 15 km in length, and it is the second biggest island in the Gulf of Thailand.<\/p>\n

Koh Rong Island<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This tropical island is known for its true blue water and powdery white sand that\u2019s soft under your feet. Koh Rong is a perfect balance of lavish resorts and its party scenes. The island also has a few paved roads, which will be easy for you to explore by rental scooters.<\/p>\n

The beachside areas like Koh Toch and Longset Beach (4K Beach) are pretty lively. Here, bars stay open well after midnight with fantastic music, pole dances, fire shows, and even games like fire limbo! Just drink, socialise, and have great vibes until dawn!<\/p>\n

Note: Most of the bars have their own accommodations and backpackers’ hostels with budget dorm beds!<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Beyond the beaches and parties, the island is abundant with forests. Their Kong Roh National Park is a <\/span>tropical rainforest with dense trees and hidden waterfalls. You can cool off at Vichea Waterfall or Koh Rong Waterfall, or take a scenic hike to Prek Svay Waterfall.<\/p>\n

The most magical experience of the island is its bioluminescent plankton, a marine organism that emits blue light when disturbed. Boat tours are available all over the island to take you to the right spot. Remember that the visibility will be better during the dry season (November to May) and even better on a new moon day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
