The nude lady statue or the white lady statue is known as one of the symbolics for Kep province but what’s more interesting is Koh Tonsay translates to Rabbit island. The island that makes you expect to see lots of rabbits.

Koh Tonsay derives from dissolve. According to the narrative, a king led the last group of the army across the sea and dissolved the army there after losing hope for the victory. Dissolve in Khmer is very similar to rabbit. The name has been slightly changed from one generation to one generation. From Romsay (dissolve) to Onsay to Tonsay (rabbit).

Bookmebus.com brings travel experience more convenient. The app shows all the transportation companies with schedule and ticket price. What we can do is just a one-click job, making a booking online via this app and arrive the bus station 30 minutes before the departure. Say no more queueing for ticketing.

When arriving the provincial town, Crab market will welcome everyone. You can find all the fresh sea food, beverages and Khmer snack there. Highly recommend all Kep visitors to pack some raw and cooked food for Koh Tonsay as there won’t have variety of food like here. After shopping, we could have picnic along the beach by just paying around $5 for the picnic place. Surprisingly, you can clearly see Koh Trol which currently known as Phu Quoc island right from there.

Spending a night at Koh Tonsay is ideal for the beautiful sunset. Get your round trip boat ticket to the island at the port at $25 for 8 people. 30 minutes to reach the island and along the way, you can enjoy with the stunning ocean view and the treelined coconut. A perfect way to escape from the noise of city.

Tranquility and peace is real with the awesome landscape and fresh coconut and seafood. One of the top favorites is the fried fish with tamarind fish sauce. What is more special, massage service is also provided. Getting traditional massage at the peaceful place which is full of wave sound and fresh air is something you should not miss. However, if you are a kind of itchy foot, trekking around island is also highly recommended as there are different beaches with different features and views.

On top of this, the nearby islands are also famous for its coral reefs and starfishes. Diving deep into the sea or on the surface of water, everyone can see it through the goggles clearly. Bonus with stunning sunset, Koh Tonsay makes all the travelers feel so amazed.

When you visit this island, do not forget to promote this wonderful place through your social channels as it has full internet signal, surprisingly.
