With just a short drive from Phnom Penh, you will be whisked away to a town blessed with quiet beaches, fresh seafood and a charming laid-back atmosphere. Spend three days relaxing by the seaside and enjoy this ‘yet to be discovered’ destination.

Set off from Phnom Penh for a leisurely drive southwards toward the coast, stopping en route to discover this intriguing part of the country. Visit Phnom Chisor temple, the Angkorian-style Tonle Bati and ancient ruins of Phnom Da. Continuing through the Takeo province, a boat trip takes you through more stunning scenery to a fascinating archeological museum.

Reaching Kep in the late afternoon you will slip into the slow rhythms of the laid back town and the next day embark on a boat trip to Rabbit Island.

Cambodia's South is barely known as a holiday destination but is one of my favorite places in Asia- it has something for everyone. Sihanoukville is great for a few carefree days by the beach, but I prefer to go into the wild in Koh Kong, trek in the virtually unexplored Cardamom Mountains and see the mangrove forests by boat. My favorite place however is Kep, for its tranquility, beautiful views and many activities. Hard to decide whether I want to go cycling, trekking or visit the caves of Kampong Trach - or just be lazy in my hammock!
