Andong Tuek at a Glance#
Exploring Andong Tuek#
Andong Tuek is a tiny village on the road between Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville and Koh Kong that most travellers pass through without noticing. It holds little appeal in itself, but it is one of the best places on the coast to pick up a boat, and it serves as a launching point for trips into the Cardamom Mountains.
The village sits amid a profusion of river estuaries near the sea at Preak Piphot. From here you can head south along the coast, where the rivers fan out into a web of mangrove islands, toward Botum Sakor National Park, or travel upriver into the Cardamoms on a hiking expedition or to community-based ecotourism projects. Wildlife abounds in this corner of Koh Kong Province.
