Koh Ta Kiev

Koh Ta Kiev (Khmer: កោះតាគៀវ, “Ancestor Kiev’s Island” – named "Ile de la Baie" during the French colonial period) is the biggest of a small group of Cambodian islands situated 4 km off Otres beach, Sihanoukville City and just 1 km off the coast of Ream National Park, Sihanoukville Province. Its predominantly forested area of 6.70 km2 (3 sq mi) is mostly flat with hills at some points.

There is also a small fishing village on the East side of the island. Apart from the Cambodian Navy, which maintains a small base with a port, no infrastructure exists.
