The plateau where Sen Monorom is located is about 3000 feet above sea level, making it a cool region for Cambodia. The climate plays a particularly important role and you'll need to consider it in your travel plans. The rainy season makes access to the town complicated because of landslides. As for winter, don't forget your fleece, because it gets cold at night!

Stung Treng is the last major town before the Laos border (with Si Phan Don – or "4000 Islands" – lying just 50 kilometres away). It's simply a place at which to make a brief stopover and has nothing of any real interest to offer, except perhaps that it serves as a way to get to Ratanakiri.

If you want to have a relaxing break in a heavenly setting <a href="/cambodia/">during your trip to Cambodia</a>, then I recommend spending a few days in Ream National Park. I escaped there for three days and I really appreciated this quiet break after the noise and bustle of Phnom Penh. I stayed in a little guesthouse by the sea, with a fine sandy beach, crystal clear water and no other hotels in sight. In front of the hotel was a little pier where I watched the sun go down from the comfort of my wicker armchair. During the day you can take a trip in a boat on Prek Tek Sap river to explore the mangroves and the ecosystem of Ream National Park. If you want to be part of some picture postcard scenery then I recommend a boat trip to Ream's islands. If you want to look at the fish make sure you check the water's visibility before you leave. Because I was promised a "great spot" for snorkelling but the sea was so clouded (because of plankton, I was told) that I couldn't see a metre in front of myself!

Ream National Park is about 20 kilometres from Sihanouk and is made for lovers of nature and paradisaical beaches.

Ream National Park is a good excursion with the family or for those who enjoy sporting activities: in fact, I spent a morning trekking, accompanied by a local guide.  It depends on the seasons, but in general, you can admire many species of birds, because there are more than 150 different species of them throughout the park. Therefore hikes are arranged, and top notch facilities allow you to get a beautiful view on the jungle's peaks to admire the flora and fauna.  From November to March, you can expect see dolphins during a boat ride in Ream National Park.   I didn’t spend the night, but there are two guesthouses located near the park's beaches: it is a very good option for nature lovers and those who are looking for a peaceful night!

Ream National Park is a protected natural area, located to the south of Phnom Penh on the road to Sihanoukville.
