A Destination Mini-Guide to Koh Rong
Traveling through the Island in Cambodia 

 

In the South of Cambodia lies a little paradise island called Koh Rong. It is the second largest island in Cambodia with four village communities. A lot of travelers who visit this country stay on the mainland and enjoy the seaside there.

 

 

 

 

Venturing Through South Dakota's Black Hills
