KOH KONG (Khmer Times) – The street that runs along the river in this provincial capital is lined along one side with tourist shops displaying posters of mountainside waterfalls, mangrove forests and pristine beaches.

Ecotourism may be the province’s draw card, but trash is inescapable in the provincial capital, about 400 kilometers southwest of Phnom Penh.
