Kampot Guest Houses - Reviews and Rates

Hi everyone! (well I say everyone - I've love to know how many people are still reading this blog - I'm sure you've all found something better to do, and I'm just talking to myself, tee hee :)

Well, since we spoke last, I've been down to the coast to a lovely, sleepy little town called Kampot, spent a couple of nights there, and got back ...

'It's amazing how honest Cambodians are. I forgot to take the change and one of the store workers came running over with the discrepancy,' Johannes said something like this, and eagerly said so.
Of course, there are people with differing degrees of honesty all over the world, but it makes all the difference when you hear it about a country th...

I took a minivan today from Sihanoukville to Kampot which took about 2 hours so no bother. Kampot is a small town with it's main attraction being the Bokor National Park and a few other bits and pieces.

After I arrived I went for a wander around and stumbled into a guesthouse/restaurant for lunch where I asked about going to visit the pe...

Alright there folks, All keeping well I trust. All going grand with us apart from a wee mishap this morning but we will get to that. And dont worry Pauline its nothing big!!!!! After the last blog we went out for the nicest meal we have had yet. The place was called Friends and was a wee gem not because of any ties with a certain over rated TV s...

We arrived in Kampot from Phnom Penh on what could have been the slowest bus in all of SEA. Although the LP guide suggested the 148Km ride would take only 2 hours, it in fact takes 5 (but that is counting a lengthy meal stop). The road is not that bad, but for some reason (both ways) it takes 5 hours.
We checked into the Orchid Guesthouse, a...

On a fellow traveller's recommendation, we set off to Kampot and KEp. We arrived in Kampot mid-dayish and soon set out to discover the town. Well, 2-3 hours later, that mission seemed accomplished. Kampot is VERY quiet village. It does have some beautiful French architecture and the walk along the riverside is very pretty. I am not sure whether ...

8am the van was waiting for me in the front of guesthouse. I jumped in an empty van and was ready for about 90min ride to the Kampot. Story suddenly changed, after few turns and I was in the someones car going to the Kampot. What a surprise. The good thing I'm used to them by now. I put my backpack in the trunk and sat in the back of very old To...

Après ma discussion avec Kirk deux jours plus tôt, je renonce à prendre le bateau pour Battambang. Je pars directement vers le sud, sur la côte. Dans le bus vers Phnom Penh, je rencontre un Slovène de Ljubljana qui vient du Népal où il a fait de l'escalade. On discute un peu. Il m'explique qu'au Népal il faut se méfier du thé. Vous savez pourquo...

From Phnom Penh, we took a bus to the south west coast, to a beach town called Sihanoukville. At this stage, I was with Mike and an Irish guy named Barry. Halfway through the trip I looked at Mike and said "im bored" and he agreed. We spent the rest of the trip playing cards trying to keep ourselves occupied, while Barry (across the isle and in ...

We ended up in a lovely villa style guesthouse witha view over the river. Kampot is a small town and seemingly unfamiliar with tourists apart from a couple of expat bars. Because of our 'success' with the moped the previous day we decided to get another, a battered old honda which did the job. We headed to the beaches in Kep and found an all but...
