How is Koh Rong different from Koh Rong Sanloem?+
Koh Rong is larger and livelier, with both party beaches and quiet bays, while Koh Rong Sanloem is much smaller and quieter — ideal for those who want total peace.
When can I see the bioluminescent plankton?+
It's best on dark, moonless nights with no light in the sky. Boat tours take you out to swim and see it at night — ask your accommodation or a tour operator on the island.
Is there electricity and internet on Koh Rong?+
There's electricity and Wi-Fi in the Koh Touch area and the main resorts, but some remote bays may have only limited electricity at certain hours, so bring a power bank.
