Once in Phnom Penh, there are numerous AC buses that run to Sihanoukville – every hour for most of the day. The Trip takes approximately 3.5 hours and costs 14 USD. The main bus companies are Virak Buntham and Capitol. A private taxi takes 3,5 hours and costs 80 USD.
If you travel from Bangkok you will need to book your trip at a Bangkok travel agency. The bus ticket will cost around 45 USD from Bangkok to Sihanoukville.
The trip from Koh Kong passes the Cardamom Mountains which are very beautiful. So day-time is recommended. But you might want to watch Ankor Wat first. Then, of course, the whole trip goes over Siem Riep and from there to Sihanoukville.
From Sihanoukville you need to follow Route 4 towards Phnom Penh for 30 km. If you are at the weigh station, where the truck driver has to pay for the road, you go 1 more km to the next village Ou Chamnar. Here you see a bus station on the right side and a red building from the government next to the concrete road.
On the right side of the road are white stones where is written on the top how far it is to Phnom Penh. Ou Chamnar is km 195. In Ou Chamnar you turn right onto the cement road. Drive 7 km on the cement road to Koh Kchhang Fishing Village. In Koh Kchhang Fishing Village turn left. After 250 m the boat dock is on the right. There are blue signs with our name on the way.
If you come to us by bus from the direction of Kampot, show the bus driver our address. He will then let you out in Ou Chamnar (Bat Kokir). There are tuk tuks (5 USD) that will take you to our boat dock in Koh Kchhang Fishing Village. Let us know when you will arrive and we will organize a boat for you (one way USD 9.50/person, children under 6 are free).
These are the signs to follow when you arrive in Ou Chamnar by bus or when you turn off Route No. 4 by car.
Show this to the bus or taxi driver. It is the name of the village.
Ou Chamnar in Khmer:
There is a small concrete road that you follow for six kilometers on a moto. In the fishing village is a sign to turn left for 250 meters. At the sign with the boat and car walk right and walk down the pier. The boat will be waiting for you. The boat trip is 1 hour to our island.
