The Phnom Penh Visitors Guide 62nd

T he quaint riverine capital of Kampot and the oceanside town of Kep are on the coast about 3 hours southwest of Phnom Penh. The two are so similar that they share most of the same sights and attractions, though some are more convenient to one city or the other. For example, Bokor is Kampot, and the Rabbit Island ferry departs from Kep, but Kampot and Kep are only 30- 40 minutes apart. Even if you are in the "wrong city," a trip to Kep Beach, Rabbit Island, or Bokor Hill Station, and countryside tours are the most popular day trips with tour operators. There are also Angkorian ruins, caves, jungle trekking, bicycling cruises, secluded beaches, salt pans, pepper plantations, and more.
