Otres Beach...

[RickG16]

Hearing good things about this area in Sinhaukville. I've been to Sinhaukville before but didn't check out Otres...

 

Apparently it has a cool international community, sounds similar to Koh Phangan?

 

Can anyone confirm / deny?

 

Cheers

Deny.

Care to elaborate?

sand flies are an issue at that beach, bad enough to make it unpleasant to stay on the sand, unless something has changed recently.

 

I would definitely not describe it as a "cool international community" and no, nothing like Koh Phagnan.

 

The closest you will come will be on the offshore islands, which are quite nice.

The narrow beach is dirty, trash doesn't get collected, there are dirty water puddles, parts of the area are fenced off and there is a lot of construction. Seems to be a magnet for the dregs of western society

Any nightlife around there... western bars / parties? A bit less sleezy  than central Sinhaukville perhaps? 

[my friend I]

There is some nightlife. It's not worth going there tho.

 

Like Sheryl says try the islands. Koch Rong similar to to Phangan. It's changing quickly also.

It's raining a lot now, wet season

[my friend I]

Maybe try this, no pay. Contact on Facebook. Kampot page
