Kampot: The Cambodian Town That Stole Our Hearts

We came to Kampot expecting a quiet riverside stop—but we left calling it our favorite place in Cambodia. Over two weeks, we settled into the slow rhythm of life here: morning walks, market strolls, simple routines, and some of the best sunsets we’ve seen. In this vlog, we take you through what made Kampot so special—from the laid-back town center to our peaceful stay by the river, our favorite cafés, and even a cozy little bookshop. Whether you're just passing through or thinking of staying longer, there's something about Kampot that makes it easy to fall in love with. 0:00 - Intro 1:13 - Motorbike Rental 2:04 - Bokor National Park 3:55 - Local Dining 4:57 - Hotel #1 Emerald Residence 5:38 - Kampot Town 6:36 - Hotel #2 - Seagull Homestay 7:38 - Evenings in Kampot 8:54 - Hotel #3 - Villa Vedici 10:55 - Hotel #4 - Sunny Hotel 11:57 - Everyday life in Kampot 13:04 - Why We Love It Here Some of Our Kampot Favorites: 🏡 Stay: Sunny Hotel – A budget hotel with great breakfast, large rooms, and helpful staff ☕ Café: Milano Pizza Cafe – A great spot to watch the world go by 🍽 Restaurant: Khouch & Sarin + Ahmad Burger and Curry House – Our go-to for delicious and affordable meals in Kampot 📚 Bookshop:The Bookish – A hidden gem with $5 used books in many languages + trade-in options 🌅 Sunset Spot: Kampot River – The perfect place to slow down and take it all in Let us know—have you been to Kampot?
