The Small Cambodian City Where All the Expats Live - Kampot

[@ForRiel]

Thank you so much for the shout out and for supplying ride footage for the next few weeks of news moto! It was so great to see all of our old haunts in this video - Kampot has a lot to offer, much more than you would expect for such a small place. Looking forward to the next installment!

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

Thanks guys! We're looking forward to going back to Kampot. Still have to do Bokor, plus so many great restaurants that we missed.

[@hammeramsterdam9510]

You deserve it with your excellent channel..

[@OmboiMusic]

Definitely moving down there after a visa run and 6 months in Siem Reap. Owkun bong 🙏

[@BangTaoBeach]

I'm living in SR and some of my friends love Kampot. It looks boring AF to me to live there. Dusty roads when dry and muddy roads in the rainy season. Nice video though!

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

Retirement in Cambodia often comes down to Kampot vs Siem Reap. I don't know which one I'd prefer. SR has more infrastructure - I'd like to be able to go to a movie theatre. Kampot has more nature - the river is very appealing. The For Riel people have lived in both and they prefer SR too. I think I'd try a couple months in both before deciding.

[@elchadino]

Watching this from lockdown in Shanghai reminds me that there are places where "PRE ROLLS" can be written safely on a wall - it's a lovely reminder.

[@amyyates8273]

One of your best videos! Thanks for this one.

My favorite animations so far!! You’re so talented! Glad you had such a great time!!

[@dongheng6613]

You should check out Sabay Beach. It is really beautiful! Oh. You went to Sabay Beach. lol My bad.

[@frankkluz9787]

Hoping for a really good burger in Siem Reap ! --- Supposedly a lot of good food there ? --- It's my ideal retirement destination for super cheap comfortable living. --- Great look @ Kampot - close enough for me ! Too remote and isolated for my liking. More my style to fly from SR to Bangkok for some really awesome food and looking around a bit ? Maybe a quality cheap medical checkup while there for a few days. --- Enjoyed watching this though just don't need to go. I love pepper & enjoyed that. Overall a nice trip. Keep em coming !!!

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

Really good burgers are hard to come by in Cambodia. Mediocre burgers are available though. Maybe try Jungle Burger in Siem Reap.

[@sokhomnit7505]

Have been waiting for this one. Best town in Cambodia,brilliant food,scenery,eassy to get around. Love it here,PP is great for a two day break,then back to the Pot

[@manifest8599]

true but unfortunately the expats from pp and sihanoukville and the drug addicted social problems are taking a toll on once quiet kampot the police should drug test the westerners if arrested and act accordingly.

[@stevegunn9971]

Hello, have you been to Siem Reap? I haven't been there, so looking for a comparison as they both seem popular with expats. Thanks!

Watching this while chilling in our hotel in Siem Reap, we'll be in Kampot in 2 dayyyyys, we stayed at Baitong in PP after your vid, excellent hotel.

In Kampot definitely eat at Twenty Three Bistro and Tertúlia. Both have incredible food at reasonable prices.

Swimming inda river ? Aint there crocs out there ?

[@Kylelongwest]

Love kampot. Last time I went there I stayed at a small resort call yellow sun bungalow. I camped there, $6 for a tent. Sun rise and sun set were amazing. I believe it was along the same river you are visiting.

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

Probably. There are a bunch of places along the river. I felt bad cause I know a lot of them suffered cause of covid. Now they're falling apart but there's no money for improvements.

[@1stAmerican]

Lovely

[@searly8496]

Love your video always. Kampot is best known for Pepper, Durian fruit, and Boko Mountain.

[@perpetualmoto]

be sure not to miss the fishing boats coming out at night...they have to lower all their masts to fit under the bridge and even with that some of the boast get semi-stuck and need to get pushed by the other boats...theres a little pagoda to watch it from - got amazing photos of this and the crew dancing to music as they head out to fish.

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

Great tip! Next time we'll check it out. I think Kampot will be a once-a-year thing for us, maybe more.

[@perpetualmoto]

@@itchyfeetonthecheap , i get it, the food alone makes for a vacation like experience.

Grilled eggplant, a little of salt and peppercorn on eggplant. And pair with steak, or pork chops. Yummy in the tummy.

Is the Rusty Keyhole still going? They used to do incredible ribs... Oh, should have waited😊 Looks like they have a nice new site. Kampot was always my favourite place in Cambodia 10y ago. Looking even better now.

There's also a Rusty Keyhole 2 that was pretty busy every time we walked by, despite it not having any riverside views.

No, totally different. Black pepper is a berry, I think. Sichuan pepper is the husk of a seed. The taste is way different too.

I'm not sure if that Rusty Keyhole is connected to the original restaurant that Chris setup 15+ years ago.
