Asean Travel And Tours

Sharing is caring! A popular choice from your base at Phnom Penh would be to head to either the sleepy seaside town of Kep or to head to the charming riverside town of Kampot.  Transportation and transfers from Phnom Penh to Kampot and Kep are super easy and pain-free to organise!  Choices are mainly between either taxi, mini-bus or coach transfer.  As we were traveling with our kids, safety and convenience played in big part in our decision on which transfer method we wanted to use. Kampot is the larger town of the two and set in a beautiful setting next to Praek Tuek Chhu river with a backdrop over Elephant Mountains in the distance!  The main attraction in this town is the river itself from where you can partake in a variety of different activities. We thoroughly enjoyed our river cruise at night to see the magical fireflies and bioluminescent plankton!  Kep, on the other hand, is a tiny, sleepy coastal province known for its crab dishes as well as its access...

After riding through quiet villages that seem surreal and transport you back in time, walking through the fresh market that lights all of your senses on fire and zooming over the red clay trails out to boats that will take us to Lake Tonle Sap, you are keenly aware of how amazingly different this part of Cambodia will be. Our group is large but we move along with ease as our drivers expertly navigate the way, dropping us off then picking us up at just the right spots. After a stroll through the always-exciting booths of the outdoor market, we walk through one of the oldest villages in Siem Reap that dates back to the 18th century. We are amid ruins and meet local characters that remind me how little has changed for the people here but that is, of course, purely by design and desire. We are then off the Vespas again as we board our skiffs and begin our journey through the muddy waterways that are lined with many long, skinny boats, houses on tall stilts, crops growing and smiling faces ...

Cambodia is one of those countries that many people have on their bucket list.  If it's not for the many travel awards Siem Reap continually wins for having one of the world's most must-visit attractions, Angkor Wat, then you'll totally fall in love the happy, smiling Cambodian people.

Cambodia, the country with the amazing people, rich history, delicious food, beautiful coastline, and a lively nightlife… Top Things to See and Do Angkor Wat This huge temple complex is the reason most people visit Cambodia.
