What girly bars are open are a mixed bag. Some very friendly and attentive. Others the girls spend an hour looking into the bar mirror and adjusting makeup. Then walk past customers in the bar enjoying beer and sit outside looking at their phones!!!!!!
Also not many 'lookers' . Seems like many need to drop a few pounds.

It's been stupid hot for a while, in the 35 range but 40+ real feel, right now we are enjoying some rain.ExPenhMan wrote: ↑Thu Jul 14, 2022 10:06 am A general question: What's the weather like in Kampot? AccuWeather and Weather.com show historical temps (2021) topping out at 31, with rare jumps to 33-35. Lots of cloudy days.
After a dozen years in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, the heat and humidity are getting to me, especially being stuck here during three straight stupid hot seasons. It would be nice to have a break from 35-plus.
Thanks.
Streets are flooded, potholes have become death traps and makeup is running.
Generally I don't find it too humid, and you can't compare it to the congested feeling of Bangkok or similar.
Weather wise I quite enjoy Kampot, though I wish we didn't have the rainy season (sorry flowers).
Money can't buy happiness but it can buy beer

Can somebody please take a video of this area near the market so that we can see what they're on about?
And as for kampot itself wasn't there talk about the Chinese building a load of high rises and the worry about it changing the whole vibe of the City?

I've never been to Kampot but I found this daytime 4K video from March 2021 very helpful for orientation and tour through bar/restaurant area. The producer walks northbound on the east river side road and crosses the road on the way to enter Old Kampot Town, as noted onscreen. You could skip the first 5:30 minutes showing the National Bank of Cambodia and Cambodian Red Cross buildings, although they are still attractive colonial structures.
Here's another good one showing, well, read the video title. Shot in July 2021. I like the vids produced by this Aussie couple, channel named For Riel.

move along......
if you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

At the beginning of the second video, the bars shown across from the black horse monument are sitting on frontage of a large tract of land owned by the former owners of the Walkabout.ExPenhMan wrote: ↑Sun Jul 17, 2022 6:08 pm I've never been to Kampot but I found this daytime 4K video from March 2021 very helpful for orientation and tour through bar/restaurant area.

Work on the huge development near the Old Bridge seems to have been halted after around 6 levels. Believe some Chinese involvement in the project but stand corrected.
This takes up a whole block.
Not a good look if the project isn't completed. Anyone know what's going on???
