History of koh rong. There is some uncertainty over the history of the world 'Rong' some islanders say that it refers to a historical person's name, wile others think if might refer to an old word for 'cave' or 'tunnel', or to the phrase 'shelter island'. personally i have also heard stories that a great monkey lived there in the past, but i dare not say what is true here.
