Indochina Day 21 Sihanoukville : Phsar Leu Market - Kbal Chhay Waterfall - Otres Beach

0800 - Walked to the street to find the motorbike to rent. At last, we found a motorbike 24 hours rental is USD5. After that, we added USD2 gas which is enough to go to the Kbal Chhay waterfall and Otres beach which the total distance is about 50km.

We headed to the Phsar Leu market. We had the bread sandwish (like banh mi) and ice coffee for breakfast around the market. There are many phone shops. We asked several shops for the SIM card. We bought the Metfone sim card for USD2 and top up 3GB unlimited data for USD3. Initially, the lady told me that the USD3 is for 2GB data. After subscribed the USD3 data, the message that i get was 3GB data which the data is too excessive for us to use in Cambodia for a week. After that, we shopped in the market. This market selling clothes, daily thing, souvenirs, grocery and wet market.

1000 - We headed to the Kbal Chhay Waterfall. On the highway, it was so sandy especially heavy vehicle moving on the road. We're lucky that we had wear mask to prevent this sandy environment. Before 8.5 km to the waterfall, the road is non path road and it is rocky red road. Half of this route, there were many lorry moving through and we had to get through the sandy environment for several times. This route is uneven and quite slipper as it is sandy and rocky. Before reaching the waterfall, there is a small building that collecting the entrance fee of USD1/person.

1050 - Reached the waterfall. I quickly remove the shirt and get into the watefall as it was really hot. The water is very cold but the rock is very slippery. I like this waterfall as it can do natural massage that sitting under the water splashing onto the body. I feel so relax after sitting there for half an hour and splashing on every part of my body especially my legs! Other than playing water, this waterfall has a amazing view at another side.

1230 - Rode back to the Sihanouk town. We went to the Sorya bus station to asked for the bus ticket to Phnom Penh. The bus fee is only USD6.25. It is really cheap compare to the travel agency that offered USD7. It also include the free pick up service. After that, we had lunch at the King Fried Chicken as the meal is cheap and it is air-conditioning. We stayed there for a while after finished the meals.

1530 - Departed to the Otres Beach. When reached the Otres 1 beach, there are so many bar and restaurants. After these row of restaurants, the beach between the Otres 1 and Otres 2 don't have any bar, hotel or restaurants. Hence, the beach is free for any activities. The sand is white but not as fine as Boracay and the water is not that clear too. After playing the water for a while, we sit there and wait for the sunset. The sunset is very beautiful as there were not much cloud.
