Tourism Sihanoukville Welcome to Sihanoukville also known as Kampong Saom is a province (khaet) of Cambodia on the Gulf of Thailand. The provincial capital alsocalled Sihanoukville is a port city and growing urban center located 185 kilometres (115 mi) southwest of Phnom Penh the national capital.The province is named after former king Norodom Sihanouk and grew up around the construction of the Sihanoukville Port which began in June 1955 and became the only deep water port in Cambodia. Sihanoukville s beaches are a popular tourist destination. The province is served by Sihanoukville International Airport 18 kilometres (11 mi) from downtown although it has a limited commercial operation. The airport currently has limited passenger flight between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh on Cambodia Angkor Air. In addition to the Port and tourism several NGOs and foreign and national investors in the last years have contributed to the growth of the province not only as its function as an international sea port but also to other sectors namely textiles and real estate. Sihanoukville is also the location of the main production plant for Cambodia s national beer Angkor Beer. Sihanoukville was the place of the last official battle of the United States army in the Vietnam War although the incident took place outside Vietnam. The Mayaguez incident of 12 15 May 1975 involved US forces and the Khmer Rouge. Currently divers at Koh Tang one of the Sihanoukville islands where the major battle to free the SS Mayag ez took place can see two shipwrecks on the sea floor 40 metres (130 ft) down. Sihanoukville municipality was elevated to a province on 22 December 2008 after King Norodom Sihamoni signed a Royal Decree changing the municipalities of Kep Pailin and Sihanoukville into provinces as well as adjusting several other provincial borders.. www.tourismsihanoukville.com
