Urban Heat Island Effect - Phnom Penh to Koh Rong - Chinese Navy Base in Sihanoukville, Cambodia

How to get from Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia,  to the island of Koh Rong on the Gulf of Thailand?

In this video I take you on the journey there. You'll need to book separate bus and ferry tickets.

Along the way, we see the Chinese Naval ships mustering on the horizon for sea drills with the Cambodian Navy. United States Secretary of Defense will also be visiting Cambodia on his way from the Shangri-la Dialogue in Singapore to check how things are going out here. I also cover a short history on development in modern Cambodia.
