Sihanoukville – also known by the local as Kampong Som – is a coastal ciy in Cambodia and the capital city of the Sihanoukville province. Sihanoukville has several beaches and small – offshore islands.

Casinos are one of the main point of attraction in Sihanoukville. There are about 20 different casinos in the city, and this number is going to increase. These casinos offer variety range of gambling and gaming options, from slot machines to tables games or sport betting.
The Wat Leu Temple is located on a hill about 1.5km northwest of Sihanoukville. The Temple perhaps is not as grand in design and structure as some of Siem Reap’s historical temple but is still worh a visit from visitors and travellers.
Splash Party is a floating obstacle course, just off Otres 1 Beach. Featuring slides, ladders, trampolines, rope swings and a blob jump, it provides a lot of family-friendly fun. The modest entrance fee gets you a life jacket, if you want/need one.
