Kep & Kampot Images 10 images Created 2 Jul 2009
Kep was once Cambodia's premier beach town, drawing weekend holidaymakers to its shores with seaside villas of the privileged class. Nowadays the old villas are in ruins and the town is known more for its oceanfront seafood and crab stalls than for its beaches. Meanwhile the provincial capital of Kampot is of quite a different character with quiet lanes, classic French colonial architecture and very few tourists all which lends Kampot a quaint, small town ambiance. Visitors come to Kampot as a base to trek or visit Bokor Hill Station and the nearby beaches of Kep and it surrounding islands
