Sihanoukville hotels – From budget to luxury

Sihanoukville is also fondly referred to as Kampong Som and is a province in southern Cambodia on the Gulf of Thailand. This beautiful port city and beach resort of Sihanoukville is bordered by stretches of whit sandy beaches and gorgeous undeveloped tropical islands.

Sihanoukville, named after a Cambodian king, was actually chopped out of a jungle in the late 1950s so Cambodia would get its first and only deep-water port.
