Transport

Transport can be divided up between transport around Koh Kong, and into and out of Koh Kong.

Inside the city
Easiest and cheapest way around the city...... walk. Second quickest and second cheapest, rent a bicycle, about $1 per day. Quickest and third cheapest, take a motorcycle taxi, they go slow, and charge about 5 Baht to 10 Baht (Thai money, about 15 to 30 cents U.S.) inside of town. Charges are higher for more than one person, and night time travel. Next, rent a 100 cc motorcycle for $4 a day plus gas. ($15 for a 450cc dirt bike) Another option, rent a car with a driver at the market. About $25 per day, plus gas.

Getting to Koh Kong
From the Thai border, get a motorcycle (70 thai baht /person) or car, (280 baht for the car, or 80 baht per person if you can get more than 3 people) for a 15 minute ride into town.
From Phnom Penh or Sihanoukville, take a car or minivan for a 4 to 7 hour drive on national route 4 and a long road through the jungle. Travel time varies by road and car conditions, and how long you have to wait for a few ferry boats. Sihanoukville is about 1 hour closer to Koh Kong than Phnom Penh. From Sihanoukville only, take the ferry leaving at 9:30am and arriving at Koh Kong around 1:30pm. $20.

From the new Trat bus station, mini-vans leave every 45 minutes to the Koh Kong border. Charges are 120 Baht and the trip takes about 90 minutes. Figure about 30 minutes to get throught Thai and Cambodian customs. The ride to town from the border is about 15 minutes.

Leaving Koh Kong already???
To get to Thailand, take a motorcycle or car 15 minutes from downtown to the Thai border. About 70 Thai baht and up for a motorcycle and 290 baht for a whole car (this includes the toll for crossing the bridge). After going through Cambodian and Thai immigration, you probably want either a minivan to Bangkok ($20+ and 6 hours) or a minivan to Trat, Thailand (110 Baht and 90 minutes, last one leaves at 6pm, leaving every hour). Trat has a number of guesthouses starting at 90 Baht per night, and is the starting point for visits to Koh Chang Island.

Busses from Trat to Bankok leave every hour from 7am to 11pm.

To get to Sihanoukville, either take the ferry at 9:30am ($25) for an enjoyable 4 hour ride throught the islands of Cambodia (but if it's bad weather, the boat doesn't leave), or get a minivan or car from the market, for a 4 hour ride. ($12 for a seat in a minivan or car, $65 for a whole car.) Rith Mony bus leaves at 8am to Sihanoukville for $8. To Phnom Penh by road is about 1 hour longer drive than to Sihanoukville and the same price.

Outside downtown
Casino, waterfalls, islands, coastline and beaches, jungle, Safari World, mangroves, dolphins, mountains, rivers, dirt trails, Buddhist Temples, and more.

Sunset Lounge has boat tours leaving from their dock on the riverfront.
Also, South Sea Safari (Tel: 099 605 226)

Koh Chang anyone?

Courtesy of IamKohChang.com:

From Trat bus station to the ferry pier is a 50 baht ride on a shared
pick up truck taxi. When you get off the minibus from the border at
Trat bus station you'll see these waiting. They leave when they are
full, or you can hire one just for a couple of people for 300 baht for
the trip to Centrepoint ferry pier. Ferries run every hour from 6am -
7pm. Ticket is 90 baht one way or 140 baht return.
When you arrive on Koh Chang you just get on one of the white pick up
truck taxis that will be waiting to take people to the different
beaches. Price is from about 50 - 80 baht/person depending on where you want to go.

Coming from Koh Chang to Trat, the same applies - ferry then blue pick
up truck taxi to Trat bus station. Then take the minibus to the border
for 120 baht - it will leave when it's full.
