Volunteering with Friends the community was the highlight of our trip! Koh Rong is stunning—easy to explore by scooter and full of breathtaking beaches. Accommodations are basic, like the local lifestyle, and keeping the place clean helps make it feel like home. The kids are the sweetest part of it all! The locals are also incredibly welcoming—learn a few Khmer words, and you'll be met with big smiles. Huge thanks to Johney for his kindness. Highly recommend this experience!

My stay at the community was amazing! My tasks were to photograph the village and local life and I also joined in with teaching the children English. Preaek svay village is so cozy and the locals are so so nice, especially the children who always say hello when you walk past them. I met some amazing travellers there that I also made great friends with. The host is very kind and helpful. It was a very peaceful and fulfilling experience and I was very sad to leave. I hope to one day return to this village.

Small fishing village, meeting locals, living in a simple water bungalow, sand, palms, free fishing and snorkeling tours, free kayak and scooter. Plenty of time to explore the island or enjoy the beaches. Overall, there are far more benefits than are listed. The only thing - at the time I had to teach only 1-2 children
