There is a fair amount of locals begging in Sihanoukville and there is no doubt that you will be pestered on the beach by children selling various items with techniques far beyond their age. Although at times it is very difficult to turn away from beggars who are not trying to sell products but just want money, it is honestly the best thing you can do as otherwise they will start to rely on tourists. If you are interested in helping out, one way to get involved would be to visit M’Lop Tapang souveniers shop. M’Lop Tapang is a centre for street kids in Sihanoukville and 100% of profits goes into funding the schools and education for children in Cambodia.
