Today, we're diving into the beauty of Koh Sampoch, also known as Koh Reachbot (Prince Island), a hidden gem in Sihanoukville "Ream" National Park. Located in Ream Commune, Prey Nob District, in Sihanoukville Province, this small island is about 27 km from the bustling town of Sihanoukville.
Developed by a private company, Koh Sampoch has become a popular tourist destination, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and recreational activities. To visit the island, there's a small entrance fee—$2 for locals and $5 for foreigners as of 2024.
One of the island's most striking features is its connection to the mainland via a picturesque wooden bridge. As you cross, you'll be greeted by lush forests and the shimmering blue sea that encircles the island. This tranquil setting attracts tourists from all over, and it doesn't disappoint. Once you're on the island, you can spend about an hour to an hour and a half exploring and climb up to the mountain for a breath-taking view.
Sihanoukville "Ream" National Park itself is rich in history and natural beauty. Established on November 1, 1993, the park encompasses both mainland and island areas, spanning across Ream Commune, O'Oknha Heng Commune, Boeung Ta Prohm Commune, and O'Chrov Commune in Prey Nob District.
