Ream National Park Officially called Preah Sihanouk National Park , the park has become known as “Ream.” The park was established in 1993 and encompasses 21,000 hectares of

coastal area including sandy beaches, mangrove forests, the Prek Tuk Sap estuary, off-shore coral reefs and two islands ( Koh Thmei and Koh Seh ). Though rarely seen the Park provides refuge for such species as macaques, sun bear, mouse deer, pan- golin and over a hundred species of birds. The Park and tour operators out of Sihanoukville offer a number of different tours of the park including jungle trekking and river boat trips along the Prek Tuk River through the jungle and mangroves to the ocean. The river trip is the most popular tour and is also more likely to pro- vide wildlife sightings. Tours may be arranged through a tour operator or directly through the Park at the Park Office (located 23 km north of Sihanoukville, opposite the entrance to the airport). Open everyday 7AM to 5PM and there are often guides.
