Ko Kong is a small Cambodian city on the border with Thailand, on the coast of the Siamese Gulf, approximately 230 km from Sihanoukville. The population of the city does not exceed 30 thousand people, but there are much more tourists there.
The town is nothing interesting or special of herself: a couple of streets (the main goes along the coast) with cafes and restaurants. In the evening, 15 Makashnitz pieces are unfolded, the tables with chairs on the waterfront are put forward - the people go to walk (and, walk so cool that it seems that tomorrow weekends - AN-No!). In these shops on the coast You can try crabs, grilled squids, delicious chicken trees, mollusks on a pair and boiled chicken eggs, as well as a number of other dishes and cheap beer. Despite the fact that dishes in all trays are largely the same, the one that is opposite Ice Cream Shop is especially good. In general, these small street shops with food are an ideal place to quietly sit and admire the sunset. Such is the standard evening in the Kong. Around 10 pm, the shops are folded.
For the city of this size, Kong Kong offers quite a reasonable choice of food and drink. From the main city restaurants you can allocate "The Crab Shack" Next to Ba Blong Village. This is an ideal place to relax from the afternoon, with beach lounge chairs, swings and chairs, covered tables - eat and sunbathing. Try here the crab or their huge in honey - they are insanely tasty! Seafood in this restaurant at adequate prices, and the portions are large, so you definitely come from the soul.
"Sunset Bar" Opposite the Koh Kong Riverside Guesthouse has a truly perfect location on the shore, comfortable armchairs and a relaxed atmosphere. The bar is not particularly clearly indicated outside, but you will notice the arch with the neon sign "Cafe" just before Dive Inn. You're at the place! The bar is open daily, from 8:00 to 20: 00- 24:00, depending on whether the clients are in the bar.
"Cafe Laurent" Next to Koh Kong City Hotel on the coast is quite quirky according to the standards of a small town, and the Local claims that prices are too high there. However, the main dishes are there on average only $ 5-7, which is not so scary, if not to say that it is cool. The restaurant offers a huge selection of Western cuisine with many versions of pizza and pasta, but on the background there is a light rock. In addition, there is in the restaurant and the Asian menu: Thai, Chinese and Khmer cuisine. Plus a gorgeous bar inside (but during the day the table for lunch is exhibited in the open sky, so capture something from mosquitoes).
Mentioned above "The Ice Cream Shop" or "Bob's" Next to Street 7, we offer Western and Thai cuisine dishes in addition to a row of ice cream types and a full bar. And here there are excellent fish dishes, pies, schnitzel (after all, a handful of German emigrants live in the city), as well as Western breakfasts and a pair of pizza variants (including seafood pizza). A great place to meet the sunset, as well as silence with local English-speaking expat. And here you will be helped to organize eco-tours and day trips, and in general, here you can get clear information about what is happening in the city. The place is working daily, from 7:00 to 23: 00 in high season, and 8:00 or 10:00 to 20:00 in the low season.
Further, "Baan Peakmai" (on Street 6) with a sweet courtyard with tables where you can enjoy a cheap and delicious Western and Thai cuisine. Seafood - the main direction of the restaurant, and there they love Curry, Pad Tai, pretty rooted pork mince with chili and basil, as well as a significant number of vegetarian dishes. The main dishes are here from 10,000 to 15,000 rielels (you can pay in dollars).
"Paddy's Bamboo Pub" (On the road to Salakron), it is a bamboo hut, decorated with orchids and other tropical plants, where you can eat with Western breakfasts and Khmer dishes. For those who hoped that this is something like an Irish pub - alas, you are in Cambodia. But it is free Wi-Fi, chic shy and mojito for $ 2.50. The bar is open daily, from 7:00 to 20:00 (if there are customers, closes later).
