a nice place to stop at, a nice place to stay.
Most people know Koh Kong as the passage town to and from Thailand, or a convenient stop-over for a visa run from Thailand. It's generally a quiet town, but there many reasons to stay in Koh Kong for more than one night.
Located on the South-West side of Cambodia, Koh Kong, the capital of Koh Kong province, is a large forrested area connected to the mainland by bridges and ferries. Around the town is the Bay of Thailand, Koh Kong island, the country of Thailand, and mountains and jungles.
The people of Koh Kong, speak mainly Khmer (the Cambodian language), and most speak some Thai as well. You can also find many Chinese and Vietnamese speakers and well as a lot of broken English. Several Westerners have restaurants, bars, and tour services in Koh Kong, and they all speak English, as well as a host of European languages.
