An Island on the doorstep
Cambodia’s dry season is technically over now, but the weather is still hot and humid due to the effect from the ongoing El Niño in the region. If you are living in a crowded city like Phnom Penh, you’re most likely to suffer from the miserable heat – not to mention the existing pollution and long hours of stressful work. But don’t fret. You can always escape to better places during your weekends or holidays. Taing Rinith recommends Koh Dach, a picturesque island located on the banks of Mekong River.
Koh Dach (translates as Isolated Island) is located on National Road 6A. To reach this small island on the upstream of Phnom Penh, travellers have to head to Chroy Chongvar peninsular and then board a ferry at the pier about five km from the Chroy Chongvar bridge.
