The last 2 weeks here have seen perfect days, everyday. It was a great time to have the Pacific Partnership 2012 and USNS Mercy to arrive in town for 2 weeks.
The town has been fairly busy all July and August with the great weather. SihanoukVille's Islands, especially Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem were filled to capacity most days.
