Trade
What makes Koh Kong special is its border with Thailand, which enables on-going trade and activation of sub-sectors. However, some rural households still depend on farming for their living. Catering and trading activities are heavily demanding, especially with the border development in progress. Despite the progress, it is still less advanced than neighboring countries, according to Angkorfocus. Hence, Koh Kong is an economic hub for fishing, salt production, sand, and other commercial activities. Furthermore, the areas to invest in include agriculture, industry, and tourism.
Tourism
A trip to Koh Kong is always so much more eye-catching than the coastline sightseeing. This natural heritage hub is home to the biggest rainforest in Southeast Asia. Its city ‘ Krong Koh Kong’ is a center surrounded by rivers and connected with different parts of the province by the bridges. In spite of its peace, the town may keep you staying longer than a night so you could explore islands, nature, and rivers and nightlife. These traits are not familiar sights in the capital city, stated in Tourism Cambodia.
Lifestyle
It is pretty safe to mention different fancy spots in the province as it's not only a business hub but also a nature hub. There, you can find its resident living their normal lives as farmers, hanging around or residing near the forests, and those elegant-looking office workers. Koh Kong people enjoy diverse activities, such as buzzing nightlife, markets, meals by the coastline, a safari world, fancy restaurants and varied resorts for different classes, reported in wiki travel.
Transportation
According to Tourism Cambodia, options to commute come by bus, minibus, van, taxi. These transports are available mostly in the morning and afternoon shifts are mostly operated upon demand. The pricing is very reasonable and most tickets can be purchased online. You can also reach the province from Thailand under a one-month visa and explore awesome places, described above of your choice. Boat rides are an additional solution to get there, enjoying an endless sight of the ocean from Sihanouk to Koh Kong, ending up with goosebumps, yet so much adventure and thrill.
