Re: Living In Kampot

The best things about Kampot are the scenery, the vast variety of foods at rock bottom prices and the weed. The worst thing about Kampot is that its such a small and incestuous little expatriate community there that everyone seems to know everybody's business. But my kids love their school, I stick...

Re: Living In Kampot

Although I'd agree that SHV town is a construction site now which is best avoided, as some others have suggested, much of Otres beach is still very nice for a stay especially if it's only for a few days. There has been development in Otres 1 & 2 (beach areas) and one of the two main streets in ...

Re: Living In Kampot

Secret garden is still there and is/was by all accounts a good place. That said I have heard the peace and quiet is shot and the original owners sold up and moved on a few months back so even they must have seen what was coming and didn't like it. If you go through with it let us know what it was l...

Re: Living In Kampot

Hi, I'm Australian and my wife is Cambodian. We have just recently bought a block of land at Kampot not far from Starling Farm. 23mx30m block from the starling Farm owner who is developing. I was googling rain water tanks and septic tanks and happened across this forum. I'm not really sure if this ...

Re: Living In Kampot

The Secret Garden is in Otres Beach. I haven't been to Otres since last October and it was still OK. I hired a bike and went into Sihanoukville to see if the stories were true. They were true. I looked around for 20 mins then got on the bike back to Otres. I'll never go back to Sihanoukvile. I'd sa...

Re: Living In Kampot

The only reason to visit is to leave! Take this hilarious back and forth in The Simpsons that I've altered slightly for comedic effect. Homer: Awww. This isn't gonna be about Jesus, is it? Reverend Lovejoy: All things are about Jesus, Homer. Except this. Your son has been working in a Sihanoukville...

Thanks for that - will put those on my list to check out :)
