Ream National Park

Ream Nation Park is 18 kilometer from downtown Sihanouk Ville towards Phnom Penh to the Park entrance. Probably, we need another 10 kilometers to get inside the park down to the beach.  The park is also home to an amazing array of wildlife and marine life including over 155 species of birds. 

The lush jungle and beautiful beaches are still all but untouched by tourists, and there are only a few villages. These days, most visitors come to Ream National Park to connect with nature and get away from stress with plentiful attractions. 

Activities that are available are kayaking, hiking, bird-watching, beachcombing, snorkeling, etc. 

It was established in 1993 by the former king, His Majesty King Norodom Sihanouk. The park covers 15,000 hectares of land and 6,000 hectares of marine habitat. The park offers walking tours of the mountain, safari tours of the smaller mammals and birds, and waterfalls. 

This was not a concern of the dictatorship, but the new democratically elected government say the protection of these plants and animals as a primary mission and the park was created as a result. The government has also been very careful to limit the number of tourists that can come to this area.
