That's sad to hear.

I visited about 6 years ago and it was such a nice welcoming town at that time.

Presumably the economic situation has turned it foul?

What a shame, we love kampot. I felt very safe walking around at night (OK before 10pm).even in west Oz, I would not walk around after 10 . Please stay safe

I don't feel unsafe walking anywhere in Cambodia after dark.

That said; saltworker roundabout and it's arteries have been known for many years as robbery hotspots

People getting desperate now, any savings all gone,
Maybe they can get one of the cops to dress up in a blond wig with a gucci handbag over his shoulder

The Sihanoukville refugees are responsible for the robberies?

It wouldn't bother me so much and I've done it recently. However there is a bad buzz in Kampot. It's always been sketchy, since they murdered all those backpackers there in 1994. The hills are full of maniacs bearing machetes. There are savages out there - you better believe it.

Don't forget the Druggie Rapey Gang preying on innocent naive young backpackers.
Are they still doing their pagan hallucinogenic-fuelled orgies and sex-slave trading thing?
