I’ve been told that Koh Rong was organizing night trip to swim with the phosphorescent plancton. No joking, it’s a proper activity and you can ask “Three Brothers”, they are doing that every nights.

Let’s be honest, we didn’t want to pay for the night trip but I was dying to have the experience. That was also one of the reason we wanted a kayak for two nights.

After dinner, we put our wet swimsuits again and jumped on the kayak. When the only lights we could see anymore were the stars in the sky, we stopped paddling and put our masks on.

The funny part began: who will have enought courage to jump the first into the dark deep water…

I did it.

Not for a long time, I was scared. I mean properly scared. We were both screaming of amazement and fear… I can’t really describe with words what all that experience was about… It is a little bit like you are flying into the cosmos or like thousand of fairies were turning around your body, and illuminating you like an aura.

When my head was into the water and my legs were kicking into the dark and producing this magical reaction, I just felt like I was playing in a Harry Potter movie… At the same time, I was expecting to see a white shark emerging from the bottom of the sea and even if I knew nothing could happen really because these kind of species doesn’t live around Koh Rong, that idea stopped us of swimming for ages…

One of the best thing I’ve done!
