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 spectacular style.

Sihanoukville

Named immediately after a Cambodian King, Sihanoukville isnt easy to get to, but it is worth the hassle. If youre coming from Thailand, the very best decision is to cross the border at Koh Kong and grab a boat to Sihanoukville. The boat takes roughly 4 hours, but beats taking on Cambodian roads, which are pure hell. If youre coming from any area inside of Cambodia, attempt to get to the key highway amongst Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville as it is the only road with no potholes, missing bridges, etc.

Sihanoukville bends up and about a point of land on the Gulf of Thailand. The town can very best be described as becoming like a beach resort in Thailand sans the tourist masses. Rooms on the beach will set you back 5 to ten dollars a night, which isnt much to watch a magnificent light show.

Mother nature has a habit of burning off excess energy in the Gulf of Thailand each and every December. This certain metaphysical yoga comes in the form of lightning. Lots of it.

Beginning around nine in the evening, the sky becomes a cascade of rolling thunder and bolts of blazing light. The complete show requires place perhaps twenty miles or so offshore, so you get all of the impact without having the threat.

The finest location to watch Mother Nature do her thing is Ochheuteal Beach. The beach is extended and narrow, but lined with tiny restaurants. The tables for these restaurants consist of tiny footstools sitting among to beach chairs next to the water. The food is excellent and you wont find a far better seat in the house for the light show.

The light show is incredibly captivating. The whole sky will light up in one particular blast to then be followed by a trail of lightning strikes moving across the sky. To enhance the influence, the restaurants have a habit of playing music. As the show progresses, 1 begins to get the feeling the lightning is taking place in synchronicity with the music.

Hey, perhaps Mother Nature likes Pink Floyd!
