The water in front of Koh Tas was dreamlike. Very turquoise and clear, however, the underwater world was not really filled with life. There were lots of sea urchins, but we could only spot a few fish. Also, the water had heated up pretty much và was not cooling down as we hoped.
2. Arrival on Koh Rong Samloem
After snorkeling & swimming in front of Koh Tas we had a lunch buffet on the boat during the rest of the trip lớn Koh Rong Samloem. Various noodle và rice dishes, some chicken, vegetables & bread. Although not the very best food, it is enough to be satisfied.To Koh Rong Samloem perhaps a 45 minute drive was before us và the island was already on the horizon. While swimming in front of Koh Tas was quite nice, I was excited to finally visit the paradise beaches I’ve seen on pictures.
