Koh Seh or Koh Ses (Khmer: កោះសេះ, also romanized as Kaoh Ses, its former French name: Ile a L’eau) is a Cambodian island located in the Gulf of Thailand, inside Ream National Park, Sihanoukville province.It lies 1.5 km (1 mi) south of Koh Thmei and around 9 km (6 mi) south of the main-land of Sihanoukville's Ream commune. A 4.3 km (3 mi) wide sound separates it from Phu Quoc. "Koh Seh" means Horse Island. Less than 400 meters south-west of Koh Seh lies the tiny islet of Koh Ky.[1]

Koh Seh is uninhabited while most of its shores are fringed with mangroves.[2] The island constitutes the south-easternmost part of Ream National Park.[3]
