Trip to Kampong Som

Here comes my trip to Kampong Som Town on 5th January 2008 with NBC’s colleagues. This was the first trip for me as I have been working for NBC since May 2007 and the first trip in year 2008. There were 12 people on this short trip, 5 of them are ladies including me. Hehehe... It’s really enjoyable. We reached the Jasmine Hotel at around 12:30 P.M and then we further our trip to two islands, Russie and Takeav Island. It’s almost 1 hour from O’ Chhue Teal beach to Russie Island. Oop, it cost KHR 140,000 (equal to USD 35) to travel by boat from the above beach to Russie Island. However, it’s a good idea if you take a boat from Ream beach to Russie Island because it is less far and cheaper than departure from O’ Chhue Teal beach. This is just a suggestion for you. Hey, Russie Island is so beautiful and peaceful. You can find restaurants, accommodations, toilets, and other basic needs, which on land provides especially fresh air.

>>> On Banana Boat (Adventurous to Drown but we wore life jackets)


>>> Shooting at Sokha Beach (At the back of us is where sea water and river flow into each other)


>>> O' Treas Beach

Well, we returned to O’ Chhue Teal beach at 5:00 in the evening after a short visit to Ta Keav Island. Another interesting activity that was adventurous for me and other four friends was sitting on Banana boat causing one of my friends lost his glasses in the sea. At night time we sat along O’ Chhue Teal beach to have dinner and play games. On the second day, we went to Sokha beach to take cute photos and had lunch at O’ Treas beach where I swam for almost 3 hours. It was a time to go back home after we took a rest 30 minutes after a meal.

Humm, I wish I could have such a wonderful time again even it’s somehow tired.
