  • Koh Kong, Cambodia, is a fascinating border town often overlooked by tourists. Located near the Thailand border, this small town is known for its proximity to lush rainforests, eco-tourism opportunities, and Koh Kong Island, a military-controlled spot with stunning beaches. In this video, I explore the streets of Koh Kong, showcasing its local markets, friendly locals, and the developing tourism scene.
    While it’s not a typical holiday destination, Koh Kong offers a unique glimpse into Cambodian life, from its charming riverside views to its mix of cultural influences. If you’re a backpacker passing through or on a visa run, this town is worth a day’s visit to uncover its quirks. Join me as I navigate the streets, discover local highlights, and share my honest impressions of this underrated spot in Southeast Asia.
    I am an older backpacker travelling the world proving that backpacking is not just for the younger generation.

      I do try and add prices in some of the videos when I mention hotels/hostels but because I don’t do a script, sometimes I forget to mention.

    Is the food similar to Thailand's or is it different?

      The Cambodian street food is dire and to be avoided.

    • @olderbackpacker
      @olderbackpacker  11 месяцев назад +1

      At Koh Kong it looked similar, but I’ve met 2 different people so far in Cambodia who both got food poisoning from street food in this country :(
