Kampot feels like a slower, softer side of Cambodia 🇰🇭✨ From misty mountains to riverside sunsets, here are 10 things we loved doing in this peaceful little town:

🛺 1. Ride a Tuk Tuk
One of the best ways to explore Kampot slowly, with countryside views, local villages, and fresh air all around.

🏛️ 2. Visit the Black Palace
Hidden on Bokor Mountain, this abandoned royal residence has a mysterious charm surrounded by fog and forest.

🗿 3. See the Lok Yeay Mao Statue
A massive spiritual monument watching over the mountain roads, with incredible panoramic views nearby.

⛰️ 4. Explore Bokor Mountain
Cool weather, dramatic scenery, waterfalls, abandoned buildings, and clouds rolling through the hills.

🧂 5. Walk Through the Salt Fields
Beautiful reflective landscapes where locals harvest sea salt the traditional way during dry season.

🌊 6. Stroll Along Kampot Riverside
Relaxed cafes, peaceful walks, sunset skies, and one of the calmest atmospheres in Cambodia.

🕉️ 7. Discover the Ancient Cave Temple
Climb up into a cave hiding an old Shiva lingam and natural rock formations, including an elephant-shaped stone inside.

💧 8. Visit Secret Lake
A peaceful escape surrounded by greenery and countryside views, perfect for slowing down and taking it all in.

🌱 9. Tour a Pepper Farm
Kampot pepper is world-famous for a reason 🌶️ Learn how it’s grown and taste some of the freshest pepper you’ll ever try.

🌅 10. Take a Sunset Cruise
Golden skies, calm river waters, and the perfect way to end a day in Kampot.

Kampot really surprised us with how peaceful, authentic, and beautiful it feels 🤍

Mornings at Le Café ☕️🥐

White Mansion Phnom Penh MAADS ™

We absolutely loved the hot sauce at Shudaxia Hot Pot! 🔥🌶️ It’s the only mala sauce connected to a Guinness World Record and easily one of the spiciest yet most balanced and delicious ones we’ve ever tasted, that perfect numbing kick without killing the flavor! 😍

The ambiance is so vibrant and ambient, it’s no wonder so many people come here for the full experience. Great for warming up the body, boosting circulation, and lifting your mood with every spicy spoonful! ✨

Highly recommend if you love real Sichuan fire!
