Hi,
I'm new here and did a search but found nothing.
I am heading to Cambodia for two weeks in mid December and planned to do a day trip from Sihanoukville to Koh Rong, but the more I look into it the more a night or two appeals.
The one thing stopping me from going is the remoteness of the island in case I happen to get bitten by an animal.
Does anyone know how common animals infected with rabies are and how often you can get back to the mainland? I haven't had the preventative shots and don't have the time now.
Thanks

Unless you know of a specific outbreak of rabies on Koh Rong, I don't think you need to be worried. There is probably more risk on mainland Cambodia, and I wouldn't be worried about that either.
General rule of practice should be to keep away from dogs, bats and monkeys anyhow.

As you grow older, you'll find the only things you regret are the things you didn't do.
