Memory from Bamboo island

កោះឬស្សី read as [Koh Russei] or known in English as Bamboo Island is located about 4.5 km from the coast of Sihanoukville. 

Not different from other islands, Bamboo island has warm and crystal-clear water ideal for swimmer. However, this island has golden sand and beach compared to that of Koh Rong Sanleum and Koh Rong.

FIrst island tour: 2011 at Koh Russei

• It can be accessed by the ferry which takes about 30mns. In 2011, there were only wooden boat which you can actually stop for snorkeling at Koh Chanlos.
• Locals love to go day trip which you will leave from Ochheuteal beach at 10am and return from the island by 4pm on the same day.
• However, it also has many resorts, restaurants and bars. Camping at night is also ideal for this.

Golden sand with crystal clear water, paradise for swimmer and sunbathers 

My first visit in 2011, there were not many tourism facility which we have to bring our food for barbecue. 

If you ever want to go the island which is not very crowd and not very costly, I suggest going to this island. Video of the island is here. Fishing at the island is here.
