The Kep Revival

Do you have a Cambodian trip report you want to share? Post it here, and feel free to link to your blog if it's a travel blog for Cambodia, South East Asia, or anywhere really. You can ask and answer questions about travel advice in Cambodia or just share your pictures and videos with us. Most people who live in or visit Cambodia have also checked out nearby countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, and you can get to most of these countries by traveling overland, so put any travel plans, reviews or questions here. Discussions about dirt bike trails in here as well.

The breakwater at the Crab market now four times bigger and it looks like they are filling in in front of where the crabs were kept in baskets in the water

Image

Between the Crab Market and Kep beach they have built 58+ shophouses 95% empty - there is no parking and they stretch 600m so will never be busy. Notice the buckled wood on the walkway after a few months - either wrong wood or not treated. There is a pub at the end with well priced food and beer.

The day before the official opening of Kep West

Indeed they are filling in the sea in front of the crab market - sort of spoils the ambience and theatre of the iconic place

Opening day of another white elephant - Kep West

At least 500pax arrived possibly lured by supposed free cocktails and canape. The cocktails were some packaged premixed swill that they ran out of and the 'food' was all gone in 10 minutes. Lots of people.
