Another World Paen Koh is one of the great attractions the city offers kampong Cham is that this island in the middle of Mekong River a little over a mile of the city.
This stunning rural island is a wonder to all that kind of travelers seeking adventure and a feeling only.
When you cross the "ferry " (for call it that) to the island, you can not imagine what awaits you is that as I say, is a perfect place for travelers who want to experience and enjoy a solo tourism, discover untapped and the authentic lives of thousands of families living in the middle of the river ...
Life in Koh Paen , seems peaceful and perhaps in monotony. The majority of its inhabitants live on agriculture and of course fishing.
This islet is a small city with all the "services" necessary for life their families ... schools, medical (very basic , and throughout the country ) temples etc ... although the majority of young daily ferry crossing to Kampong Cham for their studies, especially the side ...
for us Paen Koh was one of the great discoveries of our journey through Cambodia , perhaps because we are not expecting an island in the river , or we were the only tourists passing by there in a long time or maybe because we saw Khmer life more rural and authentic, but really it was a great success.
How to move?
The island is bigger than it looks and walking is difficult to see, the best option is to rent a bike or a scooter Kampong Cham and turn on ferry to Koh Paen where, after payment of transportation, we can roam freely around the island.
Precautions:
roads that crisscross the island, are unpaved and potholes with Socabon corresponding so that if we have problems, it is best to move with caution and slowly. You many wild animals such as chickens, cows, etc. at any time may be coming our way.
how to get there?
The only way to reach Koh Paen is in the curious ferry that links with Kampong Cham . This mode of transportation is rudimentary and brutal. The ship is a set of wood attached to it have an engine you can climb aboard and all .. and if you look at this video .
If vistais Cambodia you can not forget you visit Koh Paen because although you will see that there other rural islands in rivers as Koh Trong etc ... I assure you that you will enjoy of a place as authentic and alone and in Koh Paen
