Sihanoukville
Sihanoukville, also known as Kampong Som, or Kampong Saom, is a port city in southern Cambodia on the Gulf of Thailand.The city was founded in 1964 to be the only deep water port in Cambodia (in part due to the waning power of the French leading to theVietnamese tightening their control over the Mekong Delta and hence restricting river access to Cambodia) and its beaches have made it popular as a tourist destination. According to the Royal Government of Cambodia, some 320,000 tourists visited Sihanoukville in 2006, up by 30 percent from 2005. The city is named after King Norodom Sihanouk.
The city is served by Sihanoukville International Airport. The planned flights between Sihanoukville and Siem Reap may encourage visitors to Angkor templesin Siem Reap to extend their stay, though the crash of a charter flighton this route in 2007 has caused concerns.
Sihanoukville attracts tourists with its laid back beach atmosphere when compared to Thailand's more developed ones.
