The water in front of Koh Tas was dreamlike. Very turquoise & clear, however, the underwater world was not really filled with life. There were lots of sea urchins, but we could only spot a few fish. Also, the water had heated up pretty much & was not cooling down as we hoped.
2. Arrival on Koh Rong Samloem
After snorkeling và swimming in front of Koh Tas we had a lunch búp phê on the boat during the rest of the trip to Koh Rong Samloem. Various noodle và rice dishes, some chicken, vegetables và bread. Although not the very best food, it is enough khổng lồ be satisfied.To Koh Rong Samloem perhaps a 45 minute drive was before us & the island was already on the horizon. While swimming in front of Koh Tas was quite nice, I was excited to lớn finally visit the paradise beaches I’ve seen on pictures.

There are 3 beaches or bays on Koh Rong Samloem.
