A guide to the sights, sounds and smells of Kep.

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.

A guide to the sights, sounds and smells of Kep.

Post by Leighton Travels »

It's been a tough time around Cambodia of late with the recent restrictions and various lockdowns. With, touch wood, some of these lifting over the net weeks, I'm sure some people would be looking to travel or even relocate within the country.

Please check out my recently published guide to Kep, featuring articles on Kep Beach, The Abandoned Colonial Villas, Rabbit Island, Kep National Park, Samathi Pagoda and The Strand Restaurant. All content is free, if you enjoy what you read please share. Thanks!

Back in the town’s heyday, there was a large casino. Visited, some articles claim, by French film legend Catherine Deneuve and former US First Lady Jackie Kennedy. But our driver said he didn’t know if there were any remains, adding that it was probably destroyed by The Khmer Rouge.
The Kep casino was only in operation for a short period. It was destroyed in a mysterious incident around 1966 when a gang turned up and methodically smashed everything in it. The incident is described in this book:
Silence, exile, and cunning.
