Phnom Chhnork
$1
8km east of town on the Kep Road NH33

A pleasant ride through paddy fields and village life to these caves with pre-Angkorian Funan shrines and "lost worlds". Just after the rhino statue turn left there is a sign to Phnom Chhnork Resort, cross the railway into a village. Straight ahead is Phnom Sera with some interesting caves and a quarry which feeds the local gravel industry. Follow the road 90 degrees left and 2 km or so to Wat Ang Sdok, pay the monks and walk across to the mountain. Take your torch flashlight.

Also to be experienced are the fresh seafoodespecially the crab with local Kampot pepper and beaches at Kep 25km 25-45 minutes east from Kampot by moto or shared taxi which makes a fun day trip. Although the beaches are not as nice as those in Sihanoukville 1 small brown sand beach and more rocky, it is quiet and during the week you will likely be the only visitors. Fishing boats can also be taken out to Koh Tonsay Rabbit Island, approximately 45 minutes from the mainland.
