Bamboo Island, Cambodia

Bamboo Island, Cambodia

Bamboo Island, Cambodia, កោះឬស្សី is the English translation of the Khmer name of the Island. Bamboo Island is one of a group of small islands in the Gulf of Thailand located about 10 km. from the port city of Sihanoukville, in southern Cambodia. For many years, Bamboo island was remarkable only as a small naval outpost. However, increasing development and rising tourist numbers in Sihanoukville brought tourism to the island. At the time of writing (2007), several companies offer bungalows for rent and the island has become a popular holiday destination for both visitors and residents of Cambodia.
