Koh Rong Samleum (Khmer: កោះរ៉ង់សន្លឹម, also Kaoh Rong Samloem) is an island off the coast of Sihanoukville, Cambodia. It includes a large heart-shaped bay with shellfish cultivation and beaches on the north coast towards Koh Rong.
Also Koh Rong Samlon is home to the privately owned business Marine Conservation Cambodia, which works with the local villagers in order to protect the unique marine life around the island.
Angkor National Museum (Khmer: សារះមន្ទីរជាតិអង្ករ) was an fantastic experience.

A visit is a comfortable, air-con alternative to visiting the temples themselves, and a nice educational supplement to the history of Angkor if you visit the park without a tour guide.
