Koh Ton Say Resort (Rabbit Island)
Description
Rabbit Island or called Koh Tonsay is a natural resort locating at the Southeast of Kep town in a 4.5 kilometers distance from the town and has two beaches suitable for swimming because they have white sand and shallow water. At the bottom of the sea, there are varied fish, plants, and corals, which enable the research on ecology. The name "Koh Ton Say" comes from the word "Rum Say" meaning "Spread out". Because when the King, Sa Kor Reach is hopeless for struggle due to his troop and parties break off, he leads the remaining troop across the sea to an island in front of Kep town, then his troop spread out there. So that we call the island "Koh Rum Say", after that we call "Koh Ton Say" until now.
How to go to Koh Tonsay? Twenty to 40 minutes by local boat from Kep is Rabbit Island. A place of white sandy beaches and coconut palms, it is an idyllic day trip from either Kampot or Kep.
