Riverside slow town famed for world-class pepper, with French lanes, lazy sunsets and firefly cruises — Cambodia's coziest corner.

📍 Destination Overview

Kampot sits by the Kampot River below Bokor Mountain in southern Cambodia, a languid riverside town famed for world-class Kampot Pepper, whose farms welcome tours and tastings. Yellow French-colonial buildings and cafes keep a slow pace; boat rides bring sunsets, fireflies glow among mangroves at night, salt fields and caves lie near. One of Cambodia's most charming slow towns.
