Riverside resorts holidaysin Cambodia
The charming riverside city of Kampot is very atmospheric and ringed by tranquil countryside and pepper plantations. It has become a popular haunt for weekending Khmer and expats from Phnom Penh as well as foreign tourists. Kep, which was founded as a seaside retreat for the French elite in 1908, became the favoured haunt of privileged Cambodians before falling on hard times under Khmer Rouge rule. Today, Kep is experiencing something of a renaissance, with its narrow sandy beaches, crumbling colonial buildings, tranquil atmosphere and delicious seafood - particularly crab. Day trips to the little known Koh Tonsay (Rabbit Island) are also highly recommended.

Riverside resorts Travel Guide
Best time to go
As with much of Cambodia, the southern coast has two seasons – wet and dry. The wet season runs from May to October/early November and brings, not surprisingly, rain – although it does tend to be short, heavy downpours rather than lasting all day, so still a good time to travel. The dry season runs from November through to April and is the perfect time to bask on the beach.
Visas
A visa may be required. Please ask for details.
