Kampot is a small and picturesque town near the Cambodian coast.

    • The main attraction is the tooth of time, a bit gnawed by French colonial architecture and a pleasant atmosphere of the city, but also interesting surroundings. Kampot lies on the banks of the Praek Tuek Chhuasi river five kilometers from the sea. Until the founding of Sihanoukville, it was an important port, now only small fishing boats and sightseeing boats with tourists sail on the river. The French made Kampot an administrative seat, so the center is full of houses from the colonial period. While few of them are repaired and in good condition, most are slowly disintegrating, giving the city a special shabby and sleepy atmosphere.
    • The most important buildings include the old cinema and the former governor’s palace. Not without interest is the old bridge, which looks as if the French built it from various components left to them from several places. On the contrary, it is lively on the city market, which is spilling into the surrounding streets. The most famous item is Campotian pepper, the first product to boast a regional trademark. Local travel agencies also offer trips to pepper plantations. From Kampot you can also travel to Bokor National Park.
