Full Moon Island Resort in Kaoh Sdach, Cambodia

Dark/Light Mode
(12/02/24)
 As Travel News Asia (TNA) always tries to
prioritise companies in the host nation, the only interview Travel News Asia conducted
with a non Laos-based business at
the ASEAN Tourism Forum (ATF) 2024
in Vientiane, was with the Full Moon Island Resort in Kaoh Sdach, Cambodia.

The resort, a family business owned by H.E. Lay
Prohas who was Cambodia’s Tourism Minister when the country hosted
the ATF in Phnom Penh in 2003 (which Steven Howard of TNA also
attended), is located in Koh Kong province
approximately 4 to 5 hours from the capital city and around 2 to 3
hours from Sihanoukville.

To learn more about this picturesque resort,
Steven Howard of Travel News Asia sat down with one of the
ex-Minister’s
daughters, Indra Khanitha Lay Prohas, who is currently studying in
Australia.

In this interview, filmed at the ATF on 25
January, Steven asks about post-Covid recovery, how guests should
get to the resort, how the different room types differ, what
facilities are available, and which
markets the property is promoting itself to and how.

All that and much more in the HD video and audio
podcast below.
