Kep/ Kampot- Holiday Cambodia
Kep Beach and ResortFrom the turn of the century through the 1960s, Kep was Cambodia's ‘premier beach town,’ drawing holiday-makers to its breezy shores and sporting the luxurious ocean side villas of Cambodia’s privileged class. Nowadays, the old villas are in ruins and Kep is known more for its oceanfront crab shacks and relaxed tropical atmosphere. A few short, picturesque slivers of sand dot the shore including Kep Beach where many of the guesthouses andrestaurants are clustered. For the moment Kep still has a rustic ‘out of the way’ feel to it - jungled mountains, quiet beaches, local crab shacks and a quickly growing number of guesthouses and restaurants. Kep is a place to relax by the seaside and use as a base to visit nearby Rabbit Island, and explore the national park, nearby caves and rural countryside. Only a 35 minute drive from Kampot, many make a day trip of Kep, dropping over for a seafood lunch or dinner.

Kampot townSet with picture perfection on the Kampong Bay River near the base of the Elephant Mountains, the provincial capital of Kampot City is of quite a different character than the much more heavily touristed beach town of Sihanoukville. Quiet lanes, classic Colonial period architecture as well as very few tourists all lend Kampot a quaint, welcoming, small town ambiance. Visitors come to Kampot for a taste of provincial Cambodia, for the relaxed atmosphere and to use the city as a base for touring the countryside and as a stepping stone to the nearby beaches and islands of Kep, the Bokor Hill Station and the rest of southeastern Cambodia. For those interested in charitable, community and volunteer work, Kampot offers several opportunities, some with NGOs and other organizations doing things such as teaching English, assistance with disabled people, reconstruction projects, etc. Come the end of the day in Kampot, the place to be is one of the little riverside cafes and pubs overlooking the Kampong Bay River - relaxing curbside over a glass of wine, watching the sun slowly set behind the Elephant Mountains
