A Day in Sihanoukville, Cambodia
Sihanoukville's (also known as Kompong Som) main attractions are offshore islands and beaches around the headlands. The group headed out in a converted fishing boat to spend the day swimming, snorkeling and relaxing around the islands in the Ream National Park. None of the islands have been developed yet.
ex-Marine and I just headed out of the Jasmine Hotel after breakfast for a long walk along the beach to town. The beach was moving and grooving already with many Cambodians enjoying the very warm water, riding banana boats and building castles in the sand. Many lounges and little restaurants along the entire stretch. Drugs can be had freely in this area and it wasn't unusual to see signs for "Happy pizzas" and/or "Happy" anything. The "Happy" is usually marijuana put in baked goods and sprinkled on pizzas. Big warning -- if you do buy drugs, it may be a set-up and prepare to spend years in a Cambodian jail. That is not a "Happy" thought.
