Koh Kong is most likely known to travelers either coming from or going to Thailand by land. The province is located in the southwest corner of the country and bordered by Thailand to the west, Pursat to the north, Komong Speu to the east, and Kampot and Sihanouk Ville to the southeast.
What is unique about this province is the fact that its populated number has increased continually over the last few decades. This factuality no doubts results from migrants attracted from other parts of the country who choose to lay their lives on this busily booming frontier zone. Though it rightly remains a transit stop, the vast availability of its tourist appeal such as the amazing beaches, waterfalls, and striking landscape are likely to turn Koh Kong a tourist destination.
