Islands closure? - Koh Rong etc

Post by Brucey93 »

Hi all,

I heard the islands are shut or about to? Anyone heard anything about this? I'm currently in PP and want to head there, but not sure if ferries still running?

I'm aware bars and stuff are shut, but just curious if I can actually still physically get to islands.

Thanks
George

Ferries are still operating to the Islands according to the Koh Wrong FB group, no indication that any of the islands have been, or are likely to be, placed on lock down.

In that case, it would be good if you could leave an update on the forum about the situation on the islands for other travellers and expats. :thumb:
Happy trails.

Yeah, can confirm Koh Rong open, just understandably pretty quiet. However I'm staying in coconut bungalows on coconut beach with a mix of travellers and locals. It's a beautiful place.

Just from a local friend in PP, her friends work here and told her but it's probably about bars etc, not actually all accomodation and entry.
