西哈努克玩什麼 What's fun in Sihanoukville
1. 吃海鮮 Seafood
就說是個海城了，每三家餐廳有兩間都在賣海鮮，大家也可以試試路邊的碳烤攤販，有烤章魚、鮮蝦，釣到什麼就吃什麼。
Definitely need to try some seafood restaurants ! also the street pedlar will have squids, shrimps BBQ, just give it a try :)
2. 各類水上活動 Water activities
香蕉船、水上摩托車都是一定有的，另外在Otres beach還有風帆、獨木舟等活動。
Banana boat, water scooter , windsurfing and kayak !
3. 在沙灘上放鬆 Relaxing on the beach
日光浴、啤酒、果汁、做指甲、按摩、吃海鮮串燒，這些都是能在海灘上看到的活動。
Sunshine, beer, fruit juice, massage , seafood BBQ , relaxing on the beach.
4. 無與倫比的夕陽 Enjoy the sunset
西哈努克就位於柬埔寨的西南邊，夕陽的美景更是不在話下。
Need to say no more about the amazing sunset.
5. 熱鬧的夜市 Night market
在勝利海灘和Serendipity都算是比較熱鬧的海灘，晚上除了餐廳、酒吧之外，也會有一些推車小攤販。
Victor beach and Serendipity beach are most crowded beaches in Sihanoukville, during the night time, there will has a lot of bars and some clubs, also some street pedlar are cool !
6. 租摩托車到鄉間小路晃晃 Rent a motorbike
雖然我們沒有在西哈努克租摩托車亂晃，但有暹粒的經驗，想必在這裡租車，自己騎到鄉間小路，肯定也是很棒的探險！
We didn't try to visit Sihanoukville countryside by motorbike, but we've done it in Siem Reap, so I'm sure it will give you a nice "getaway" experience if you're interested in local villages.
7. 搭船到小島度假 Visit the islands
西哈努克旁邊最有名的小島就是瓜隆島，坐船只需要一個半小時，島上的原始風光叫人不沈醉都難，美麗的碧海藍天，珊瑚和魚都是島上吸引人的特色。
I guess there are more than 50% of peoples who visit Sihanoukville is because their final destination is Koh Rong island, take 1.5 hours fast boat to the nature beauty island and enjoy this nice escape.
西哈努克的著名沙灘 Famous beaches in Sihanoukville
1. Serendipity beach
這個海灘是最熱鬧、人最多、最多餐廳的海灘，到處都有酒吧、紀念品店，當然也有很多民宿或飯店聚集在這一區，海灘的品質還算乾淨，只是在沙灘上比較容易被推銷小販或乞討者打擾，不過如果喜歡享受熱鬧、年輕氛圍的朋友，這個海灘就會是你的最佳選擇，出發去其他小島的碼頭也在這裡搭乘。
Serendipity beach is the most popular, crowded , bustling beach in Sihanoukville, bars, clubs, restaurants and souvenir stores , also has a lot of hotels located in here, the only thing annoyed me was been bother with beggar and or sales , but if you enjoy the night life and party , I will definitely recommend this beach for you:)
2. Sokha beach
位於Serendipity beach旁邊，卻是一座世外桃源，人煙稀少，能享受獨佔一大片海景的快感，觀光客不多，海灘乾淨、清幽，比較適合情侶或是不想被打擾的遊客。
Right beside to Serendipity beach, but not as crowded as Serendipity beach, infect, this one doesn't has too much tourists , so , enjoy the chilling afternoon and lying on the beach! it's more suitable for couples or ppl who are afraid of noise.
3. Otres beach
位於西哈努克的最下方，也是一座人煙稀少的乾淨海灘，有別於Sokha beach的寧靜，這裡除了能享受度假的清閒，更有許多水上/水下活動等你去體驗，不管是風帆還是浮潛，因為遊客少，污染也少，玩起來更是過癮，有興趣的旅客，可以去Otres activity center看看。
Otres beach located in the south of Sihanoukville, the beach is clean and beautiful, not crowded at all , but also has a lot of water activities can do on this beach , if you're interested, Otres activity center will be a nice agency to reach.
前往西哈努克 Go to Sihanoukville
1. 到市區買巴士票 Buy the bus ticket
我們是從暹粒出發，在市區都有代辦處可以買到車票，一般來說單程是一個人$15~18USD，看你選擇哪種巴士，車程約10~12小時。
Can either buy the ticket from Siem Reap or Phem Penn, we went there from Siem Reap, and as always, you can easily find the agency to buy the ticket, it took 10~12 hours from SR to Sihanoukville , one way ticket is around $15~18 USD per person.
2. 坐躺巴士或臥舖巴士 VIP bus or hotel bus
因為車程很長，又是夜車的關係，所以通常巴士都會提供空間讓你睡，坐躺巴士就是一般的椅子，能調成躺的，價位是$15元，臥鋪巴士就是直接是一張床，然後分成上下鋪，空間狹小比較無法坐起來，就是要你一路睡到目的地，價位是一人$18，有好有壞，但是我們還是寧願它是一張床，所以選了臥鋪巴士，車上都有附枕頭跟棉被，其實還不賴。
The bus takes more than 10 hours, so it usually start from 9pm, and offer "sleeping bus" that you can actually sleep on it, there has 2 kind of buses , one is called VIP bus , which only has seat can let you lie down, this one is like $15 /pp , another one is called hotel bus, which has actual bunk beds on the bus, with pillows and blankets,price is $18 /pp.
3. 兩間巴士公司的差別 2 different bus companies
通常會坐到的長途巴士有主要的兩間，一間為Virak，一間叫做Olympic，兩者的價錢都差不多，兩者車上都沒有廁所，唯一比較大的差別，就是Olympic的空間比較寬敞，臥鋪有單人床，所以自己去的朋友可以一個人睡，相較之下，因為Virak都是雙人床，所以除了獨自旅行者得和人共床之外，整體的空間也狹小許多。
As I know, there's 2 different companies running this route, one is Virak, another one is Olympic , the price doesn't have too much different, they both don't have restroom on the bus, but only Olympic has single bed , if you're travel solo, and don't wanna sleep with stranger, you should probably choose Olympic, cuz Virak only have king bed but usually you have to share with other.
4. 事先決定好要去哪個海灘 Make sure which beach you're going to
抵達之後，就會有嘟嘟車要來載你去飯店，通常如果還沒決定要去哪，他們都會在你到最熱鬧，也是最多飯店選擇的Serendipity beach，如果你比較想要到人煙稀少的安靜海灘，除了跟他們說你的飯店在那之外，也盡量指名海灘的名字，免得海灘和你的想像有落差。
Once you arrived, the tuk tuk driver will drive you to your hotel, if you already book it, it's all fine, but if you haven't book one, they'll usually bring you to the most popular beach as know as Serendipity beach, so if you're not the party type traveler, you will probably don't enjoy the stay in Sihanoukville, remember to make sure which beach type suit you best.
西哈努克小貼士 Sihanoukville Travel tips
1. 巴士上沒廁所 No restroom on the bus
不管是哪種巴士，車上幾乎都不會附廁所，大約會每三～四小時停一次休息站，所以大家記得斟酌車程間距。
They usually don't have restroom on the bus, so they'll stop by a resting stop every 3 to 4 hours.
2. 防蚊液 Insect repellent
這邊有一種小蟲子，叫作沙蚊，出沒在有很多樹木的海邊，我有看到別人被叮得滿身都是包，我自己在峇里島也被叮過，全身會充滿紅點，癢起來實在要人命，並且會留下疤痕，需要一段時間才會淡去，大家要多加留意。
There has a kind of bug called sand fly which haunting around the beach , I saw people been bitten like crazy , I've had same experience when I traveling in Bali, it was the most itchy feeling I've ever had, and it leave scar for a while, so take a good care of it I will say!
3. 海鮮餐廳的衛生 Hygiene of seafood
這裏是個人經驗，吃了幾天海鮮之後，胃開始不舒服，腸胃比較敏感的人可以帶胃藥。
For personal experience, after keep eating seafood, I started to feel stomach, if you're sensitive with seafood, probably need to bring some pills with you.
4. 準備好享受原始的自然風光 Wild life in the island
到了西哈努克，十之八九都會去旁邊的小島玩，那些海島風光自然不在話下，就因為自然美，小島也有一定的原始性，沒有網路，奇奇怪怪的昆蟲動物是一定的，但這也都是小島有趣的地方！
Most of people will go to Koh Rong island while visiting Sihanoukville , and they're all amazing island for sure, get ready for the wild life on the island,which means suck signal, internet and lots of insects,living creatures!
5.一個西哈努克萬種風情 Different beach type
西哈努克城可能有五個以上的海灘，每個都有它的特色，熱鬧的就非常適合喜歡狂歡整夜的朋友，安靜的就很適合情侶或不想被打擾的遊客，一個去錯，感覺真的會差很多，記得事先做好功課，找出適合自己的海灘。
They're probably more than 5 beaches in Sihanoukville, everyone has their own style, no matter is party day to night, or just wanna spend some quiet moment with that one, make sure which beach type you wanna visit, otherwise it might let you disappointed due to the big difference.
6. 選擇在乾季時去 Go there in dry season
柬埔寨乾季約為二月到五月，七月到九月為雨季，雨季時的西哈努克經常下雨，整個海灘都會變得不好玩。
In Cambodia, dry season is from February to May, wet season is July to September, during wet season, Sihanoukville will rain a lot , so it might not be a good idea to visit there around wet season.
以上就是短短的西哈努克旅遊指南，在西哈努克我最推薦的海灘為Otres！景色美，海灘乾淨，除了放鬆還能盡情享受水上活動，雖然，坐車坐10個小時，是很折磨人的事，但如果假期夠，又熱愛海島的話，西哈努克絕對值得一去，其實個人覺得座落在西哈努克旁的那些小島，才是最棒的，但既然都到了，也不妨在西哈努克待上一兩天，好好享受不同於吳哥窟的美景。
So here is my little Sihanoukville travel guide, my personal favorite beach is Otres, clean, beautiful, quiet but also with lots fun activities to do, altho, spend 10 hours on the bus travel to there, it's very tough, but if you have enough time, and interested in island , beach, try this getaway from the city, especially those island beside Sihanoukville, you will love it :)
Hope you enjoy!
