You have probably read a lot of my posts about Koh Kong province but I would like to introduce the different site which is located near the provincial town of Koh Kong called Tatai. If you go through National Road #48, this is at the 4th bridge where you will reach before heading to Koh Kong provincial town.
តាតៃ Tatai is the name of the village, the river and the waterfall. When visiting Tatai, people often hire boat (32$/round trip for up to 12pax on the boat) to go downstream to play with the waterfall. Tatai is located on very interesting location.
Among steepest roads in Cambodia, Tatai road must be one of the steepest I have ever experienced traveling. The length of the steepest is 1600ms lengths with about 200 heights between the lowest and the highest. I imagine we were on roller coaster while on that road 
The scenery is incredible and you can even see cloud early in the morning. It is always cold no matter which season it is. Before National Road #48 was properly built and allowed usage in 2008, people had trouble travelled through this road. Koh Kong was like the isolated island ever and rarely visited by locals. People who wanted to commute from Phnom Penh, they had to take ferry through Sihanouk Ville so traveling was so difficult at that time. Now, that there are proper road, it is like a shined diamond and Koh Kong is my most favorite province in Cambodia.
Tatai is home to first luxurious Glampings and resorts in Cambodia and is very beautiful all seasons. Two luxurious ones can be found in Koh Kong province among all other luxurious resorts in Cambodia which you can find here in the list!
What you can do there?
- Waterfall, big one and very pleasant to swim (not recommend to swim in rainy season - too slippery and can cause danger)
- Resting on floating resorts. There are many floating resorts along Tatai river, including 4River Floating Lodge, there are Rainbow lodge, Koh Andeth Lodge and Tatai Lodge. All are floating surrounding by great scenery and tranquil river! It is a quiet place to spend the vacation.
- Fruit plantations, including durian, mango Steen, and rambutan
- See Local way of life of local people who are mostly fishermen who live along the river.
- Fishing along the river
- Some locals here speak Thai language because before the national road was built, they commuted more to Thailand then to Phnom Penh, the capital city.
Would you go there for your vacation??
Before getting to Tatai along National Road #48, there are some tourism attractions such as:
- Chi Phat ecotourism site, my previous article is here
- Areng ecotourism site, my previous article is here
- Koh Kong province as a whole, my previous article is here
- Trapeang Roung river, which I will introduce one article next month
- Khnong Phsaar, which I will write later about that site., already bought a tour to go and check it out but the flooding in Cambodia right now made us decided to cancel it.
- Stung Popok - will update later.
After Tatai, there are some other things to see such as:
- Peam Krosob mangrove swamp, my previous article is here

Is it possible to swim in this river? Is the river deep?
Have a nice weekend, dear Sophia!

Oh dear @Nyainurjanah don’t be because right now I am at home too. These are from my past trip in 2017, 2018, 2019 when I organized tour for my friends. We have been there often. Right now, too much water and some areas are covered by flood so no travels at the meanti

Right dear @Ant_Bad_Yogi the good thing about this place is that it is not far from the Koh Kong town so you can reach within the same day when you travel from Bangkok. It is a beautiful place.

@TusharSuradkar thank you. It is actually more popular among foreign visitors before Covid-19. It is like the hidden gem 
located in the vast forest. I have never stayed there since price is not affordable for low income locals but I have frequently visited the area with my tour. I love stopping at the plantations and looking for fruits. It is so much fun, going and picked up durian from under the trees. The price is not high too! Very refreshing!

Exactly my thoughts @Sophia_Cambodia that I wrote and then removed from my previous reply 
I often go to such vacation places where there are many other fun activities to be done in the lap of nature instead of splurging huge money on living in artificially constructed structures.

@TusharSuradkar right, I would when there is a good chance. Next month, I would go to stay in the Glamping at Trapeang Ruong which is not far from this site. I will write about it when I come back. It is about supporting conservation job at my former employer, the forest and wildlife conservation org. I’m excited just to think of it.
