Sihanoukville (Krong Preah Sihanouk), which used to be called Kompong Som, today called familiarly Snookyville or even Snooki, is the coastal resort of Cambodia, which is famous for the best beaches in the country..The history of these places has thousands of years and is filled with both interesting and tragic events .The city itself began with a French-Cambodian camp literally carved in the jungle in the 1950s .Soon the town turned into a lively port, and its golden beaches attracted the most elite: the Independence hotel somehow stopped even Jackie Kennedy .During the Civil War in the 1970s, .The star of Sihanoukville has sunk, but in the 1990s, .the resort began to regain its former glory .At first, only brave backpackers came here, and the guidebooks were scared with marks from bullets in the streets..But now you are unlikely to find here at least one mention of the then war: even the historical Independence, which was inhabited for 30 years by ghosts, reopened ±$$.And today in Sihanoukville actively open bars and restaurants, and the "New York Times" has already managed to assume that this is "the next trendy beach in Asia" .So come calmly and rest with pleasure (although it's not worth to appear on the beach after 21:00 in Sihanoukville - even to men) .
