Phnom Penh to Kampot

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.

Decided to go back to Phnom Penh the same way eg 3 then 41 left about 7:30 am bit windy from right to left so most dust blew away from my side of road had good ride back
Reason for going this way was the road Kampot to Kep not so good either .

Yeah, all roads pretty shagged.

If heavy rain they become terrible until they can get the graders back out.

Be next year before they are sealed again.

I've never been to Kampot and am thinking about checking it out one of these Saturdays and coming back on Sunday. It seems the Giant Ibis Bus from Phnom Penh drops people off at Durian Roundabout.

Is that walking distance to the part of Kampot where most barang stay? If not does PassApp or Grab operate in Kampot? Thanks!

Yes, and also yes. And you can hire a moto for $4 a day as well if you want.

Don't know now has they were to be fixed for the water festivities. Before this I came on road 3 at the bottom of Bokor and the road was potholes and gravel.
