Kampot, Cambodia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kampot is a city in Cambodia.
The city is a quiet riverside town just a few kilometers from the Gulf of Thailand. It makes a good basecamp for exploring Bokor National Park and the Bokor Hill Station. The former French resort is now in ruins and can be reached by pickup truck or dirtbike. The beachtown of Kep is also only about an hour away. Before the war, Kampot was best known for its famous pepper, which is still widely available in Cambodia.
