Ha Ha mate, you think they leave on time?

Seriously, try the train. If it is too boring you can always ride back. But it arrives at a nice time in Kampot and you still get to do wheelies on the way to Kep.

It's about 4 hours to Kampot, you get to see the countryside, it has AC and has a buffet outlet (take your own food is my advice) It stops once in Takmeo. From Kampot you can then take a leisurely drive to Kep and satisfy your wild biker spirit needs.

Trains leave PP at 7am, on Friday/Saturday/Sunday and return to PP at 11am on Saturday/Sunday/Monday. $7 pp each way.

Let the train take the strain! (and eliminate the risk of death or serious injury too)

Train is horrible. Took 6+ hours last time, and the main highway is basically finished, and then he'd have to go to Kep on top of it. Main road to Keep is fine, just take the 3 and then cut off by Angkor Borei.

Wow, a BBQ fish on a plate that is too small, with some cucumber. Genius.

It come with the head, tail, flippers and fins all still attached, plus the guts still in situ. Not even a side plate for the bits you're going to have to remove yourself. Could they do less?

Unless you're Robinson Crusoe, I can't see the attraction.
