Kep

The most noticeable small town known as new resort area
Kep is the smallest province in Cambodia, about 4 hours’ drive from Phnom Penh, facing the Gulf of Thailand to the south and surrounded by Kampot Province on the remaining three sides. It is famous for producing pepper along with Kampot. Although the land size is small, but it is a relaxing tourist destination with a variety of nature, a remote island called Rabbit Island, and Crab Market where you can eat fresh crabs. Most of Kep’s beaches are mangroves and black rocks, and there are only few white sand beaches like Sihanoukville, but in recent years luxury guest houses and bungalows for the middle-class have been built, and it will be the most noticeable as a new eco-tourism and resort area in the future.
