From Sihanoukville I had booked a transfer to Tatai, in Koh Kong province near the border with Thailand. Around four hours after leaving the overcrowded beach resort, I was happily ensconced on a peaceful river boat for the 20 minute journey up the river to my next destination.

What a delightful place to stay with a book or two. A pity about the snakes in the river - I hope that they never make their way into the apartments.

What a great place! The tents look way more fancy than most of the hotels I have ever stayed at! ;-) gotta love the shower as well! Really magical hideaway...

The shower was really cool. The only thing to remember as I discovered, was that despite feeling like I was in the middle of nowhere, there was a bit of river traffic so I had to remember to pull the curtains! It was fantastic, I loved it there.

What a treasure of a place!
I think I could lose myself in many books...and cocktails...at a place like this. What a lovely way to end your Cambodian trip. By the way, I'm fairly sure that most (if not all) water snakes are amphibious :)
