Getting There

Ferry
The primary way to reach M'Pai Bay is by ferry from Sihanoukville. Several companies operate speed ferries, including GTVC, Buva Sea, Speed Ferry Cambodia and Island Speed Boat Cambodia. Ferries depart from Sihanoukville Autonomous Port. Ensure the ferry specifically stops at M'Pai Bay, as not all ferries to Koh Rong Sanloem do. A round-trip ticket costs approximately $25. The journey takes around 45 minutes to 1 hour. Upon arrival at M'Pai Bay pier, the village center is a short walk away.
-
Walking
M'Pai Bay is a small, walkable village. From the pier, most accommodations, restaurants, and shops are within a 10-minute walk. Follow the sandy path along the beach to reach various points of interest.
-
Taxi Boat
To reach M'Pai Bay from other locations on Koh Rong or Koh Rong Sanloem, such as Saracen Bay or Koh Rong, consider hiring a taxi boat. Prices vary depending on the distance and negotiation, but expect to pay around $10 per person for a return trip to popular areas like Saracen Bay. A longtail boat from M'Pay Bay to Sunset Beach costs $30-$40.
