My posts are so messed up and doesn’t go hand in hand with a time scale but what the hell. It’s still going to be a post with great memories and exciting pictures and it will still annoy people back home:)
About a month ago (seems ages tho!) had an opportunity to visit Koh Ru resort on Bamboo island, which is one of the first islands to capitalise on tourism in Cambodia but is now partly deserted and ‘out of business’. You might not be the only one on islands two beaches, but you certainly won’t be sharing with many. There is a small path through the middle of the island so you can hop to the other side, that still has some active tourism. Many of my friends from so called mainland worked on the island last seasons, before it was closed down by french owners of the land. They always tell exciting stories about unbeatable moments and crazy nightlife back then, when Koh Ru was blooming with tourists and had those outside hammocks occupied by visitors. Resort with all the bungalows and rest of premises still remain standing frozen in time.
Our group of twenty got a long-tail boat and went there for the night or as Koh Ru’s crew says ‘One more day’.
As my dear friend said: “if you could have been there when it was up and running, it was the most magical place I have ever been! Anyone who lived there, worked there or stayed there as a customer will understand. I would be back there in a heartbeat if I could”. Following pictures throws us back in time.
P.S. a big thank you for people who kindly shared their pictures.
