Koh kong islands trip

The trip to koh kong island that we have been running for 8yrs is still a great trip but 4 other Khmer hotels are running the same trip now and leaving all there food litter on the beach,we cleaned this beach every time for years but now cannot remove all there litter so a beautiful spot is becoming dirty,apologies for anyone who has been let down by this.If you book with koh kong eco tours you will still get a good value day out with great bbq,the other hotels will give you poor food and a bad trip,read the internet to see these bad trips run by two bad hotels to make sure your holiday isnt disappointed,as always any where int he world if a bus takes you to a hotel they own and then try and keep you in there restaurant and do there tours its bad sign!.
