Ream National Park

Ream National Park is around 30 km from Sihanoukville, on the way to Phnom Penh. It was established in the early 1990s to protect its threatened areas.

Ream Park is one of the seven national parks in the country. It encompasses over 15,000 hectares with mangrove forests, tropical jungles, and more then 150 bird species. It is also known for its monkey population.

The park has a marine habitat and beautiful beaches, there are also boat trips being offered through mangrove forest. Tourists can have a walking tour of the mountains and see the numerous animals and plant life. As this requires guests to trek through the jungle, good walking shoes are advised for this.

Another site worth visiting while in the area is Wat Ream, the Buddhist temple. There is a huge reclining Buddha and a great view from the top of the hill, it is also very popular with bird watchers.
