See luminant plankton on a desert beachin Sihanoukville, Cambodia

Koh Rong island in Cambodia has no internet, no transport and roads; and electricity here is scheduled.

Getting to the island is possible only by water from Sihanoukville town. On the island you can easily find a hostel or a guesthouse, but not a big hotel. But here you can settle on a deserted beach and set a tent.



The island is surrounded by sky-blue sea with white-sand beach, in the middle of the island there are jungles. That's why it is better to reach the other side of the island by boat, as you can get lost in thicket.



At moonless night on any deserted beaches of Koh Rong you can witness magnificent picture - luminant plankton. It seems like water along the coast is full of bright fireflies.

1. The only way to get to Koh Rong is to buy a boat ticket to Sihanoukville. Boats depart from Victory Beach and from the main trade port of the town. A return ticket costs about $15-20.
2. Boat arrives in the main quay of the island; on the left, you'll find the main populated part of the island, restaurants, bars, guesthouses; on the right, you can get to deserted beach.

3. Right here wait for plankton. The main thing is not to fall asleep just right after nightfall.



4. Come into the sea and swim around the luminant magnificence.
