It was a toss up between hiking in mountainous jungles or relaxing on quiet secluded islands. A tough choice but I eventually settled on beaches over sweating in the leech infested rainy season jungle.
Koh Rong is likened to the Thai islands before large developments and full moon parties and I was keen to get back to backpacker roots/routes. I opted for Koh Rong Samlouen, Koh Rong’s quieter little sister. I was looking for almost empty beaches rather than a party.
