Re: Kep as a holiday destination during water festival
Never were gibbons, that i know of, at least not since i've been going to kep in 2006,
there regular monkeys an yes they are still here
nice drive kampot -kep in 2010<
he must have been on acid, the road was terrible back than
its still set up for Cambodians to relax at one the many gh's and resorts and than eat seafood on the sidewalk at the beach
some just eat on the side of the road before they even make it to the beach ( save $15-20)
they have built a whole new series of small shops just past the crab market shacks but only a few are occupied an now seems there building more at the north end of the beach where they are building a 750 m zip line to the top of the mtn

Re: Kep as a holiday destination during water festival
Thanks for the info everyone. The children are 7 & 8yo and the eldest loves seafood so i think we'll definitely be trying the crab market and restaurants.
The train station was rather busy when i popped in at lunchtime to buy the tickets.
Just a FYI if you pay by ABA there's a small surcharge. For kep, for 3 seats, it was $0.65.

Re: Kep as a holiday destination during water festival
Been up to the mountain four times after they paved it and there have not been any more motorcycles than before. But a lot more people walking and bicycling around it than ever before.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Tue Nov 01, 2022 7:04 am

No Richard the road was fine before they started digging it up. Might have been 2008. And only gibbons whoop like that. They must be all gone.
