Location
Koh Kong town is accessible by land, sea and air. From Bangkok it is 450 Kilometres to Had Lek and a short trip from there to the Cham Yeam international border. From the border it is 10 kilometres to the town. Traveling from the capital Phnom Penh it is 133 kilometres west along National Highway 4 to the town of Sre Ambel. From Sre Ambel a narrow road winds 138 kilometres through the lower Cardamom Mountains before reaching Koh Kong. The road crosses four large rivers which have no bridges and must be crossed by car ferry.

Tourism
The city lies on the banks of the Mekong River. This stretch of the Upper Mekong from Kratie to Stung Treng is home to a group of rare Irrawaddy dolphins. The dolphins are the town's main tourist attraction. The Mekong Dolphin Conservation project estimates that there are only 170 dolphins left in the upper Cambodian Mekong area.
