Rabbit
Island (Koh Tunsay) Rabbit Island is a small tropical island
in the Gulf of Thailand located about 20-40 minutes south of Kep
Cambodia by local boat. The island is blessedly undeveloped and lacks
most services except for some rustic bungalows and a couple of
rudimentary beach shack restaurants. Secluded white sand beaches dot the
edges of the island, backed by a hilly coconut palm interior. Most
services are near the westside beach. The surrounding waters are
relatively clear and warm, offering some snorkeling opportunities around
the rocks. Coral is scarce but colorful fish abound. You can stay on the
island or make a day trip of it - go in the morning, lounge on the beach
and return to Kep in the afternoon. Rooms/bungalows on the island run
$10 or less. Arrange a boat trip to the island through your guesthouse
in Kampot or Kep or just go to the Koh Tunsay Boat Dock in Kep town next
to the Long Villa Restaurant. Boats are almost
always available. A round-trip trip to the island and back runs $20 for
the whole boat, so bring some friends to split the cost. The round-trip
price is the same whether you stay a few hours or a few days. Tour
operators and guesthouses in Kep offer day packages starting at about
$7/person inclusive.
