Just like Horace's post, the directions were crap.

10 k is way past the area, LL.

Maybe only you know what the high school looks like, AIA.

There is an Angcor beer sign over the road like an archway. Where from there ?

I've been there a few times and it's a long Island, there are at least 3 different places to take ferries to it. I didn't actually measure the distance, it was just a guess.

Also you have an island opposite ken Svay and a couple of islands on/in the Bassac River the first of which, Koah Anlong, is quite interesting. Just go to Ta Kmau and follow the river road until you come to Sebou (25k) and a beautiful pagoda on the left, enter and go to the back and out the gate , follow the tree lined path and you'll come to a ferry. get a ferry on the other side to Kompong Svay and follow the road on the other side back to Phnom Penh. A very nice cycle ride taking about 4 hours(70K)


What's wrong with these directions, even a Khmer could follow them!
Bollocks to it all.

So it is 3k or 10k. Or are you and LL talking about different bridges.

You might be right about the 3k, but I don't normally listen to people who
ride bikes.

Nice that you have an opinion of the two islands, but I am looking for something
specific. Some beach like location for watersports.

Aren't you the guy who was going to sort out this list of the good and the bad ?

Which category did you put yourself in ?

3k from bridge and about another 5 or 6 k along the river road to the first ferry.

The larger of the islands has a beach ( not very clean) at the top end about another 12K from the ferry.

No idea what you are on about when it comes to the good and the bad list!
Bollocks to it all.

And 3 + 5 or 6 = around 10k like I wrote...
