Koh Rong Sanloem is a Cambodian island located 4 km south of Koh Rong island and 25 km from Sihanoukville’s port.

On this evening walk we walk along Saracen Beach. Some part of the island was recently sold. Resorts seem to be in disputes with new land owners which is evident with sprayed eviction notices later in the walk.

Despite the island’s small population, tourism became its primary economic sector by 2014 but now is in downturn again. Koh Rong Sanloem is one of the few places in South East Asia where tourism is retreating these days making it a tranquil spot in the Gulf of Thailand.
