Sihanoukville trekking

Walking in Sihanouckville is relatively safe there is little street crime and pick pocketing is rare as in fact are most crimes towards tourists. At night caution should be applied as in any city anywhere unfortunately. There is more danger of being embarrassed or pestered than actual danger most of the problems being drunken beggars and prostitutes, however areas are avoidable and there are many scooter taxis which cost about a dollar and they’ll even take two passengers…with luggage!

Walking between beaches is difficult as they seem to be located just out of a comfortable walking distance and with the heat it’s probably best to get a scooter taxi or if there are a few of you take a taxi which is very rarely more than $5 and the vast majority of Cambodian cab drivers are honest both with routes and fares.

The islands themselves around the city can be very interesting places to visit and explore on foot and many companies offer eco boat and trekking trips around them with English speaking guides and itineraries which include visits to Cambodian Island beauty spots as well as planned visits to families where you can meet, eat with and enjoy the local inhabitants as well as provide them with a little extra income.

Ream National park is well worth visiting it is too far to walk here being a 30 minute drive depending on traffic but many companies provides transportation and guided tours. Depending on how knowledgeable your guide is (quality does tend to vary) they can point out the different species of bird life here in this superb sanctuary which is home to many endangered species.
