Koh Rong is a low-lying island off the Cambodian coast, where tourism has grown slowly since 2008 but much of the land still feels remote. You will find bungalows, beachfront restaurants and a handful of villages rather than a single resort town. The pace is easy: mornings on the sand, afternoons in the jungle, evenings by a fire.
People come for the mix of sea and forest. You can hike marked trails, rent a motorcycle to explore, or simply stay near the main village for food and music. Because development is uneven, your choice of base shapes the trip more than on many other islands.
Trails wind through the island’s jungle, though mapping is still improving. A guide or a compass helps if you venture beyond the main paths.

A small, low-key area near Sok-San. It suits travellers who want a simple base and easy access to the lagoon.
The dry season is generally the most comfortable time to visit, with less rain and easier access to trails. If you plan to travel during Chinese New Year, book well in advance, as the island becomes a popular destination for families and accommodation fills quickly. Outside peak periods, you can enjoy quieter beaches and more space in the villages.
You can rent a motorcycle from some hotels to travel around the island; concrete roads are marked on maps. On foot, the resort areas are easy to navigate with a single main path, though occasional streams may cross it. For jungle trails beyond the villages, maps are improving but a guide or compass is advisable.
In Koh Tuich, the cheapest and often very good options are local Khmer restaurants in the village. Bungalow resorts have their own places with a nicer atmosphere, while beach BBQs are popular in the evening. Most spots serve alcohol and cocktails; a local beer is widely available.

It remains largely deserted except in the main tourist areas. You will find quiet stretches of beach and jungle, particularly outside peak seasons.
There are concerns about waste and logging, but plans exist to protect part of the jungle as a nature reserve. Choosing eco-conscious operators can help.
