Kep Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

town in Cambodia

About Kep

Kep was Cambodia's top seaside destination until eclipsed in the 1960s bySihanoukville(and, soon after, decades of civil war). The town is full of ruined shells of old villas, destroyed in the Khmer Rouge days and during the subsequent Civil War. Today's Kep has become established as a Khmer holiday spot and is slowly being rediscovered by travellers. An unfortunate attitude of "milk the foreigner" pervades the local businesses, which makes bargaining a necessity.
