Sihanoukville is a sleepy beach town in Cambodia on the Gulf of Thailand. In December, the beach is a wonderful location to watch Mother Nature do her factor in magnificent fashion.
Sihanoukville
Named after a Cambodian King, Sihanoukville isnt effortless to get to, but it is worth the hassle. If youre coming from Thailand, the best choice is to cross the border at Koh Kong and grab a boat to Sihanoukville. The boat requires roughly 4 hours, but beats taking on Cambodian roads, which are pure hell. If youre coming from any place inside of Cambodia, try to get to the major highway among Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville as it is the only road without having potholes, missing bridges, and so on.
Sihanoukville bends up and about a point of land on the Gulf of Thailand. The town can best be described as being like a beach resort in Thailand sans the tourist masses. Rooms on the beach will set you back five to ten dollars a night, which isnt significantly to watch a magnificent light show.
Mother nature has a habit of burning off excess power in the Gulf of Thailand each and every December. This specific metaphysical yoga comes in the type of lightning. Lots of it.
Beginning about nine in the evening, the sky becomes a cascade of rolling thunder and bolts of blazing light. The entire show requires location perhaps twenty miles or so offshore, so you get all of the effect without having the risk.
The finest location to watch Mother Nature do her thing is Ochheuteal Beach. The beach is extended and narrow, but lined with small restaurants. The tables for these restaurants consist of little footstools sitting among to beach chairs subsequent to the water. The food is great and you wont uncover a much better seat in the home for the light show.
The light show is incredibly captivating. The whole sky will light up in 1 blast to then be followed by a trail of lightning strikes moving across the sky. To improve the influence, the restaurants have a habit of playing music. As the show progresses, one starts to get the feeling the lightning is happening in synchronicity with the music.
Hey, possibly Mother Nature likes Pink Floyd!
