Kampot

Kampot is a peaceful Cambodian town close to the Teuk Chhou River and the Gulf of Thailand. Kep, which is nearby, is more popular. It serves as an entrance to the Bokor National Park. The calm riverfront location is Kampot's major charm. While there is a large town set back from the river, most visitors will spend most of their time enjoying the river.

The area and town are well-known for their high-quality pepper, which is exported all over the world. It is also well-known for its durian and Kampot fish sauce. Since 2017, the government and the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts have been drafting documentation to propose Kampot's Old Town for inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list.

The majority of tourist attractions are located along the riverfront promenade or within one or two blocks of it. The "old bridge," a jumble of diverse designs and temporary components put together after its breaching during the Khmer Rouge era, and the French-built market building, which is being repaired, is the riverside's key reference points.

The picturesque hamlet of Kampot, located on a river not far from the Gulf of Thailand, is noted for its distinctive flavor of black peppercorns. The well-known Cambodian cuisine of Kampot pepper crab originated here, and a visit to the Crab Market provides a genuine taste. You may see the women wade into the water to bring in the crab baskets before being given the Kingdom's freshest cuisine.

There are also nearby shacks where you may have an accompanying drink. Explore ancient ruins in the Kampot Kampong Trach caverns, take river boating, and explore glistening waterfalls.
