Description
A little lost paradise in south Cambodia needs your help!
We are situated on Pak Klang beach in Koh Kong province, just 8 km away from the border with Thailand.
From March 2020 my husband (Thibault )and I (Marija)made our dream come true by opening a small guesthouse with a few beach huts and a bar / restaurant on the beach itself. . Our goal is to make our guests feel like home, and since we live on the land as well we like to make everyone feel as part of the family. We try to be innovative and always bring new ideas to the project, and we are very open to new ideas from a different perspective such as yours!
The neighborhood is peaceful; you will be surrounded by mostly small restaurants owned by very lovely locals.
There is a local fisherman village and market just 10 min bike ride away from us. We are 10km away from the city and it is reachable by scooter that you can easily rent from somebody for cheap.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Take this chance to get to learn more about the Khmer culture by living among the locals. There is a lot to learn from their history and their life philosophy. Personally, that changed the way we see life. The Khmer are the warmest people I have met. Here you will get to meet a lot of travelers too; all having a unique story to share, and an opportunity for a lot of friendships to be made. We love learning languages too, we speak English, French, Macedonian, Croatian, Bulgarian and a bit of Spanish so if you speak or wish to learn any of these languages it would be a pleasure to exchange knowledge. In addition to that we like to do DIY projects to create anything from decorative objects to chairs and tables, so if you are feeling crafty it would be lot of fun. By helping us you would learn about business management as well. We would love to find a way to help the community as much as possible therefor any help will be greatly appreciated by the locals too.
Help
Hey lovely travelers of the world!
Are you looking for a unique opportunity to experience the quiet beauty of Cambodia's coast during the rainy season? Our cozy bed and breakfast beach resort in Koh Kong, Cambodia, has had a last-minute cancellation, and we're urgently seeking volunteer(s) to give us a hand.
We're looking for reliable volunteers available from as soon as possible until mid August to lend a hand with a few tasks during our morning hours from June until mid July and house sitting/pet sitting from 16 July to 16 August.
For the month of June only Your mornings, 5 days a week from 7 AM to 12 PM (5 hours daily), will involve lending me a helping hand with small tasks around with the guests, making them feel like home, assisting with property upkeep, light duties around the bed and breakfast as needed. At the moment it is very quiet sometimes we do not have bookings at all in which case I will just need helping hand with property upkeep mainly. Ideally this is the period when we can truly meet and you get to know and get comfortable with the animals and the property .
We also have a few furry and feathered friends on site, including two friendly dogs, a cat, and even a pet chicken!
The best part? After 12 PM, your time is completely your own! And in July there are no fixed hours we just need you to keep an eye on our animals and property.
This place is ideal for those seeking peace and quiet,spend their time with a book in their hand while cuddling with our animals and enjoying the rain. We've been on this platform for 5 years and always had a good experience. We've welcomed artist who painted murals, signs , made decorations . We've welcomed carpenters who played around with all the wood we have available on the land. We've welcomed digital nomads who appreciated the quiet space to work in peace.There is something for everyone. So we would like to give a space to someone to respectfully use it as they will in exchange for having a piece of mind that someone is looking after our house and pets while we are away.
Everything is negotiable, please feel free to express your needs and we can ensure a greeat exchange together!
It's currently the rainy season here in Koh Kong, which means the weather can be quite unpredictable. We might have heavy rain, beautiful sunny days, or even a mix of both in one day! It's all part of the tropical charm and unique atmosphere, so it's best to be prepared for it all and embrace the natural beauty.
We're hoping to find someone who can join us immediately for a minimum of two months, though staying for two months would be a big plus! Your immediate availability is highly appreciated.
If you're a traveler with a flexible schedule, a desire to help out in a beautiful part of the world, and you're ready for an authentic Cambodian experience, please send us a message as soon as possible! Tell us a bit about yourself, your availability, and why you'd be a great fit for our team.
We look forward to hearing from you and welcoming you to our little slice of paradise in Koh Kong!
Please include the word "pineapple" in your message so that we know you've read the whole thing. Messages not including the word will be ignored.

The place is absolutely wonderful and cheeply accessible, the tenants are adorable, understanding and fun people. The work there is exactly what is asked on the app, and you'll still have time to visit around and do activities. My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer, 5 star would… read more
