Sihanoukville is a sleepy beach town in Cambodia on the Gulf of Thailand. In December, the beach is a excellent spot to watch Mother Nature do her factor in spectacular style.

Sihanoukville

Named following a Cambodian King, Sihanoukville isnt straightforward to get to, but it is worth the hassle. If youre coming from Thailand, the finest choice is to cross the border at Koh Kong and grab a boat to Sihanoukville. The boat takes roughly 4 hours, but beats taking on Cambodian roads, which are pure hell. If youre coming from any location inside of Cambodia, try to get to the major highway among Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville as it is the only road with out potholes, missing bridges, and so on.

Sihanoukville bends up and about a point of land on the Gulf of Thailand. The town can finest be described as getting like a beach resort in Thailand sans the tourist masses. Rooms on the beach will set you back 5 to 10 dollars a evening, which isnt significantly to watch a spectacular light show.

Mother nature has a habit of burning off excess energy in the Gulf of Thailand each December. This particular metaphysical yoga comes in the form of lightning. Lots of it.

Beginning about nine in the evening, the sky becomes a cascade of rolling thunder and bolts of blazing light. The whole show takes place perhaps twenty miles or so offshore, so you get all of the impact without the danger.

The greatest location to watch Mother Nature do her factor is Ochheuteal Beach. The beach is long and narrow, but lined with little restaurants. The tables for these restaurants consist of little footstools sitting in between to beach chairs subsequent to the water. The food is good and you wont discover a greater seat in the property for the light show.

The light show is incredibly captivating. The whole sky will light up in one blast to then be followed by a trail of lightning strikes moving across the sky. To enhance the effect, the restaurants have a habit of playing music. As the show progresses, one starts to get the feeling the lightning is happening in synchronicity with the music.

Hey, maybe Mother Nature likes Pink Floyd!
