Kampot and Kep

Set with picture perfection near the base of the Elephant Mountains on the Kampong Bay River, the Provincial Capital of Kampot City is of quite a different character than the much more heavily touristed beach town of Sihanouk ville. Quite lanes, classic French coconial and Chinese architecture as well as few tourist all serve to lend Kampot a quant, welcoming small town ambiance. Visitors come to Kampot for a test of the provincial Cambodia, the relaxed atmosphere, and to use Kampot as a base or a stepping stone to the Bokor Hill Station, the nearny beaches and islands of Kep and the rest of southest-tern of Cambodia. For those interested in charitable, community and volunteer work, Kampot offers several opportunities, some with NGOs and other organization doing thing such as teaching English, assistant with disabled people, reconstruction project. Come the end of the day in Kampot the place to be is one of the little riverside café and pubs overlooking the Kampong Bay River-relaxing curbside over a glass of wines and watching the sun slowly set behind the elephant Mountains. Kampot maybe approached directly from Sihanouk ville, Phnom penh and from Viet nam Via the Prek chak and Phnom den international border Crossing.
