Moving East toward the Vietnamese island of Phu Quoc, the large island of Koh Thmei is part of Ream National Park. There's only one resort on the island, (German-managed Koh Thmei Resort, www.koh-thmei-resort; bungalows US$5). It's a real gem and fantastic value, with super simple bungalows that are just right for the setting. The resort sits on a great beach, and you can easily walk to several more, plus go sea kayaking or snorkeling (visibility varjes). Khmer meals are surprisingly good and cost US$6.
Getting here is difficult and requires private transport overland to the mainland fishing village of Koh Kchhang; turn off the NH4 in the town of Bat Kokir, about 12km east of Sihanoukville airport. From Koh Kchhang the resort is a 1/4hour boat ride(six passenger boat US$12.50).
