The Cambodian destination still remains quite exotic and unknown for many, although the tourist business is slowly developing here. At the moment, there are three cities on the list of leaders - Sihanoukville, Siamrial, Angkor. The title "Youth Resort Cambodia" should most likely be given to Sihanoukville - the city where the best beaches in the country and the tourist infrastructure is rapidly developing.
The city experienced periods of ups and downs, was founded as a French-Cambodian camp, suffered during the Civil War, and began to develop again at a rapid pace since the late 1990s. Hotels, restaurants and bars are the establishments that are mushrooming in Sihanoukville today.
Sihanoukville restaurants - Cambodia's youngest resort
The city is located on the sea coast and fulfills the mission of a major Cambodian port. These two factors influence the fact that fish and seafood are the main products, and in local restaurants, fish dishes on the menu take up to 70%.
An interesting fact, fish and seafood dishes are served in all restaurants, even those that offer national cuisine from around the world. In addition to luxury food outlets, you can order fish in cafes and in fast food outlets, there is even fish chips.
Holidays in Sihanoukville
The main component of relaxation in this Cambodian resort is, of course, the beach. But here there are some problems - the beaches are often quite polluted, as, for example, in Pattaya, and this despite the fact that there are much fewer vacationers on the Sihanoukville seaside than at the well-known Thai resorts.
The hotel row of the resort is represented by several hotel complexes and hotels. Interestingly, individual establishments for tourists' accommodation belong to businessmen from Russia, as well as some restaurants, and not always Russian cuisine. It is interesting that in this region there is a private island owned by the Russians, they have built on it a luxurious complex belonging to the 5 * category - Mirax Resort. The cost of a night in this hotel starts at $ 350, and this price is for a Standard room with breakfast included.
Young people who love travel can safely go to Ream, Cambodia's National Park, located near Sihanoukville. The park was organized not so long ago, in 1995, its main attractions are various natural landscapes. It is adjacent to the sea, so the coastal area is also the focus of guests' attention. Consists of hills covered with exotic tropical forests, in the valleys located between the hills, forests turn into mangroves.
During a trip through the National Park, guests get acquainted with amazing landscapes, mysterious representatives of the world of flora. In the lens, the fauna of Cambodia is, first of all, more than 200 species of birds, some of them are on the verge of survival, and therefore are under protection.
Tourists can see the Javanese marabou, the gray beak, the Indian crane, and among the animals - dugongs and dolphins. Another favorite stop for tourists is Kbal Chhei, a waterfall seven kilometers from Sihanoukville. For a long time, it was this water stream that was the source of fresh water for the residents of the city, then the Khmer Rouge camp appeared in the vicinity of the waterfall. Today it is an important tourist destination.
It is difficult to single out a youth resort in Cambodia, but it can definitely be argued that a young, active company that has chosen Sihanoukville will not regret the choice, having a great holiday.
