    💡 Travel Tips

    • Otres Beach is more peaceful alternative to crowded Serendipity Beach
    • Island ferries can be rough during monsoon season - take motion sickness pills if prone
    • Ream National Park boat tours best in early morning for dolphin sightings
    • Beach vendors can be persistent - polite 'no thank you' usually works
    • Bring cash for islands - limited ATMs and many places don't accept cards
    • Bioluminescent plankton on Koh Rong best seen on moonless nights
