Pailin province, known for gem mining, is a peaceful rural town unspoilt by modern development that allows visitors a glimpse into the real Cambodian life of the once war-torn area. Easily accessible from Chantaburi via the Ban Pakard/Phsa Prum Border which is free from the scams and hassles of Poipet/Koh Kong, Pailin offers you an alternative way to enter/exit Cambodia with good modern roads allowing easy access to Koh Chang, Rayong, Pattaya, Bangkok, Battambang, Siem Reap, and Phnom Penh. It's also an ideal place to base yourself for trekking excursions and guided tours into the Cardamom Mountains, one of Southeast Asia's best preserved wilderness areas which hosts an abundance of unique species as well as some of the few populations of endangered animals once common to South East Asia.
