3 About Us CAMBODIA WELCOME TO CAMBODIA Cambodia, officially known as the Kingdom of Cambodia and once known as the Khmer Empire, is a country located in the southern portion of the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. Cruising Cambodia in your yacht is an amazing experience - along with much in the way of adventure and leisure activities, wildlife and nature excursions and cultural experiences; all of which can be arranged by your APS agent. AGENT CONTACT Kevin Treloar Seafaring merchants following the coast from India to China brought them to the port cities along the Gulf of Thailand, which were then controlled by the state of Funan in Cambodia. At varying times Cambodian culture also absorbed Javanese, Chinese, and Thai influences. The culture of Cambodia has had a rich and varied history dating back many centuries and has been heavily influenced by India. In turn, Cambodia greatly influenced Thailand, Laos and vice versa N E #2B Street 476 TTP1 Phnom Penh, Cambodia kevint@asia-pacific-superyachts.com

5 ANGKOR WAT Throughout Cambodia s long history, a major source of inspiration was from religion, which brings us to Angkor Wat - a reason onto itself to visit Cambodia. Angkor Wat, listed in World Wonder List for its grandeur, history, beauty and state of preservation, is the largest monument of the Angkor group and also the best preserved, an architectural masterpiece and one of the finest monuments in the world. SIHANOUKVILLE The main port city of Cambodia, Sihanoukville is the ideal destination for white sand beaches and tropical islands. Home to Cambodia s principal deep-water maritime port, it s a perfect base for exploring the lush islands nestled in the blue-green waters just off the coast. The laid-back, bucolic atmosphere of this diminutive village is perfect. Two major Islands just off the coast near Sihanoukville are Koh Rong and its neighbor Koh Rong Samleon KOH DEK KOUL ISLAND Koh Dek Koul Island is an exquisite jewel resting in the tranquil waters of Siam Bay, rich in Khmer culture and cuisine offered in a setting of tropical opulence. A small island in the Gulf of Thailand located about 7 km off the coast of Sihanoukville city in southern Cambodia, the exclusive Mirax Resort is based on Koh Dek Koul. Thick with jungle and teeming with marine life, this is a destination well-suited for outdoor enthusiasts and pleasure-seekers alike.

6 ITINERARY Cambodia is one of the world s newest cruising grounds, and although it requires a little effort to access, the result is access to a truly amazing experience. Decades of turmoil have delayed the counties development, but this is now changing, and the Cambodian people are starting to create a modern society with solid infrastructure. This lack of development means that their coastal Islands have remained virtually untouched; resulting in some of the region s most pristine cruising. The following itinerary is a trip of exploration from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, to the tranquility of Cambodia s Angkor Wat. Day 1 Starting your cruise from a side too berth in the Bangkok River, guests are easily shuttled from the International Airport to their yacht. An afternoon spent exploring this city, with so much accessible from the river, is not to be missed. Bangkok, with its numerous canals and waterways, is often referred to as, Venice of the East. Day 2 A simple overnight cruise from Bangkok takes you to the beachfront town of Pattaya. Now a mecca for beach Lovers and Kite Surfers, it also offers some peaceful offshore Islands for those looking for a slower pace of life. Day 3 Another short passage east will take you to the Eastern Borders of Thailand, and the Island of Koh Kut. Day 4 Clearing out from Thailand, you now head into Cambodian Waters, and the pristine Islands at the entrance to Chhak Kampong Saom, central of which are Koh Rung and Koh Rung Samlem. Approaching from the North the first anchorage would come off the twin beaches, located on the North Western End of Koh Rung. Day 5 A short cruise south the Amazing 5KM Sandy white beach on the South West Coast.

7 The water surrounding this gem of an Island is crystal clear, providing the perfect opportunity for diving and snorkeling. The beach has only a few local buildings on its western extremity, providing aces of space for exploring. Should the weather turn on you, the island also offers several excellent anchorages on the eastern shore. Ashore you will find a few local villages to explore, as well as a couple of small chalet style resorts. Day 6 To the South, Koh Rung Samlem offers more idyllic anchorages, crystal clear waters and virgin forests to explore. Further offshore you will find the Island of Kas Tang. Surrounded by protected bays and pristine beaches, the Island also offers many snorkeling and diving opportunities. Day 7 & onwards A helicopter pick up from the beach followed by a brief flight will take you to the world famous and historic Angkor Wat Archaeological Park in Siam Reap. Angkor Wat is one of the most famous sites in South East Asia and covers an area of over 400 Sq KM. The Park offers 5 Star accommodations for those desiring to spend a couple of days to really explore the many temples that make up Angkor Wat. For guests not visiting Angkor Wat, departure is arranged through the coastal town of Sihanoukville, just a short cruise from the Islands. A large Navy dock can be used for short periods of time, providing secure berthing with direct access to the town. Customs and Immigration are quickly dealt with, and a short drive takes you to the local airport, which is large enough for most private Jets to use. Cambodia is best cruised between November and March, when the predominant North East Monsoon Winds provide calm cruising, and clear skies.

8 Quick Facts from APS Cambodia: Whilst there are two clearance ports in Cambodia, Khao Kong and Sikhanoukville, yachts have had difficulties clearing into and out of the country at Khao Kong if not departing to Thailand. The days of there being no costs for cruising here (other than tea money for officials) are also gone and it is mandatory to use the state shipping agency in Sikhanoukville for clearance. Cruisers experiences indicate that the fees requested vary greatly and not all officials are familiar with the paperwork involved with visiting yachts. Entrance and exit fees vary depending on the size of the yacht and negotiating skills. Your yacht agent is a great asset in planning your trip and ensuring the smoothest arrival and departure, while meeting all your needs. Best time in Cambodia for the coastal region is November through to about May (Dry Season) Prevailing wind typically Northerly to nor Easterly. A five star resort on Koh Rong, the Royal Sands Koh Rong, has good anchorage off that bay and plenty of depth. Check link for resort and island details The outer Island of Koh Tang is about 30 nm off the coast and the site of the last major battle in the Indochina War (I believe good diving there). There are more islands but close in. If diving is of interest another location is Condor Reef and one of the links to this location is: www. octopuscambodia.com/condor-reef/ M.Y. and S.Y. vessels handled by APS Cambodia include Equanimity, Y Nut Coco Nut, Runaway Bunny and Tiara.
