L'île équilibrée — quelques restos, hébergements corrects, coraux accessibles à la nage depuis la plage. La baie de Saracen est protégée et calme. Idéale pour 2-3 nuits.
Plus grande, plus fréquentée. Long Beach est impressionnante (7 km de sable blanc), mais Koh Tuch Village peut être animé en soirée. Mieux pour les fêtards.
Jungle dense, plages isolées, quelques éco-lodges hors réseau. Pas d'électricité 24h/24. Pour ceux qui veulent vraiment couper du monde. Accès en bateau depuis Sihanoukville.
Speed Ferry Cambodia and GTVC from Sihanoukville. Koh Rong Sanloem: ~45 min, 7–9 USD. Koh Rong: ~35 min, 7–9 USD. Several departures daily in high season.
