Where to go

Koki beach

Koki Beach in Kien Svay, 12 km east of  Phnom Penh on National Road Nr 1, is a cool destination for  weekends and public holidays .

Cambodian people go retreat at this beach on Tonle Wat Krauw, an offshoot of the Chaktomuk river, and rent one of the thatched huts on stilts to eat their pick-nick and chill out for the hottest period of the day. Views on the lake and fresh air are the main attractions.

The nearby pagoda was built during the Sangkum Reastr Niyum period.

 Besides the pagoda is the Sala Chan, which existed before the pagoda was built. Actors and actresses receive training here to perform at the Cambodian theatre called Lakhon Po Srey. There is only one such theatre in Cambodia. The theatre performs every religious holiday.

Boat trips on the river can be made for 7,000 Riel ($1.75) per hour.

Local vendors sell grilled fish, chicken and other food stuff that will make for a delightful picnic at the riverside. Make sure you bargain the price before ordering the food, lest you be seriously overcharged

Aside from national holidays, the place is pretty deserted during the week.
