Jan 29, 2009 - Kep, Cambodia

Kep Kep was once the playground for the rich and famous in Cambodia, just along the coast from Sihanoukville. ... Originally we planned to stay once night in Kampot, but didn't like the look of it as we passed through on the minibus! Spent a few days in Kep, 3 in total and hired a motorbike to explore with. ... You need transportation as its pretty hilly and not much in Kep istelf, and the beach is rubbish and dirty. ... Also went to the crab market and had famous Kep crab - it was ok, nothing brilliant and an awful lot of effort for very little gain! tried to find the pepper plantation (again Kampot pepper is famous, apparently) but failed! Stopping for a drink en route always means you are the local celebrity for 10 minutes, and you wouldn't believe what they can get on a motobike. ...

Kep, dernier stop avant de passer la frontiere Vietnamienne. ... (j'oubliais, la partie de foot avec les Cambodgiens etait Geante) Hello friends, Strange town Kep, there is no town! This village was very in "vogue" before the trouble began in Cambodia. ... There're plenty af abandoned villa's next to the shore.Kep, dernier stop avant de passer la frontiere Vietnamienne. ...

Jan 2, 2009 - Kep

We were surprised at what a small and spread out town Kep is, there really is very little to see here and the beaches are it must be said a little disappointing. ... After booking ourselves into a guesthouse we had some seafood for which Kep is famous and then did very little else until the evening and ended up at a Lonely Planet recommended restaurant called Riel which rather curiously quoted higher prices in dollars than in the local riel currency, its explanation being that the difference was used to 'support the local economy'. ... Via their back pocket more like.We were surprised at what a small and spread out town Kep is, there really is very little to see here and the beaches are it must be said a little disappointing. ...

Kep was in de jaren 60, voor de oorlog, het Bloemendaal van de Cambodjaanse Beau Monde. ...

Jan 21, 2007 - Cambodja zonder TomTom

Vanmorgen waren we ontzettend lui, lang uitgeslapen, uitgebreid ontbeten in de mooie tuin van het hotel, dus pas laat op pad, weer met een gehuurd brommertje, maar nu een wat beter exemplaar dan gisteren. Vandaag hebben we weer een poging gewaagd om de zee te vinden, nu richting Kep, dachten we. ... Maar de zee kwam maar niet, dus maar eens ergens rechtsaf geslagen, want daar moest ie zijn.Vanmorgen waren we ontzettend lui, lang uitgeslapen, uitgebreid ontbeten in de mooie tuin van het hotel, dus pas laat op pad, weer met een gehuurd brommertje, maar nu een wat beter exemplaar dan gisteren.

Jul 2, 2006 - Kep - it's wet

Got to kep (Taylor, Matt, Dean and I) and it pretty much rained all day, got very wet walking around. Kep itself was a seaside resort for the wealthy before the khmer rouge bombed the hell out of it. ... Most of the buildings left now are just shells of their former selves.Got to kep (Taylor, Matt, Dean and I) and it pretty much rained all day, got very wet walking around.

Feb 25, 2006 - Kep & Kampot

Kep is a odd sight. ... It's not that were many potholes, there actally wasn't any road at all, just rocks! so halfway through we turned back, at least with the moto in one piece, and went back to Kep for a late afternoon cruise in the countryside. ... Kep est une petite station balneaire qui etait tres a la mode au debut du 20eme siecle et ou le roi Sihannouk avait construit sa residence de vacance, elle s'est eteinte petit a petit avec la guerre et le genocide. ... Donc pour amortir le cout de la mobylette on est retourne a Kep pour faire la ballade le long de la mer sur une deux roues comme en Italie! c'etait bien, il ne manquait que les spaghetti allo scoglio. ...

Feb 22, 2006 - Kampot

22 Feb WED Moto to the bus station where we had to wait around half an hour for a shared taxi to fill up to Kampot. (Just a note: the "backpacker's hub" - not if it means a lot here - was the usual grim place with dirty bathrooms, we wondered how they manage to stay alive with far better rooms just on the other side of the road) No time to relax, we rented a motorbike to discover Kep, which is 25 km east of Kampot on the seaside. ... Kep-sur-Mer was founded as a colonial retreat for the French elite in 1908. ... The Cambodian elite followed the tradition and King Sihanouk also built a few palaces here.22 Feb WED Moto to the bus station where we had to wait around half an hour for a shared taxi to fill up to Kampot.
