A love of South East Asia saw Asha leave her homeland of Australia for the hot nights and cool breezes of tropical Asia. She has been based in Cambodia for the past 4 years and travelled extensively around the world, eating, drinking and walking until it's time to eat again.

Otres 2 is fast becoming a “must see” in Cambodia. Further around the coast from Ouchetal and Otres Beach, Otres 2 is a quiet slice of heaven. To get there you will need to catch a bus from Phnom Penh or Kampot to Sihanoukville and then a 20-minute tuk tuk ($7) ride to the beach. Otres 2 has many of the natural qualities of Otres Beach- the water is still clean and fresh, the sand is white and the beach is shaded by several large trees. The difference is Otres 2 is slightly more upmarket so ends up being a bit quieter without the backpackers lounging around. Many expats frequent the beach with their families during the many Cambodian public holidays. Over the past few years, several large 5 star resorts have opened up along the beach. Ren and Secret Garden are fantastic for those looking for a more comfortable beach stay. They both have pools, outdoor showers in the rooms and fantastic restaurants right on the beach. Like Otres Beach, Otres 2 also has many guesthouses with day beds on the beach for your use (for free) with the purchase of a drink or some food.
