PHNOM PENH TO KAMPOT BY ROAD
Leaving Cambodia's capital and heading to the riverside town of Kampot. How long is the journey? And how far is the hotel from Kampot town?

Always interesting to see the country side and how and where the people live. Brilliant thanks Ed .
I did the bus from Kampot to PP 3 years ago. Most of my fillings came loose on the roug roads. Personally I loved Kampot. Very peaceful. Enjoy!

I was there 3 years ago as well, or 3 and 3/4 I guess. The road was destroyed then due to heavy rain so it was more of a clay than an asphalt road back then. Think the journey took me about 5-6 hours due to the poor state of the road and all the gridlocks in Phnom Phen.

Glad your enjoying your adventures mate

Kampot, Kep, and Bokor Hills are still very laid back. They have been rebuilding the roads from PP to Kampot for the last few years. Be kind, be cool, and safe travels, mate!
I just realized 7 days at a nice hotel in Kampot will run you $179 dollars, which is still $21 cheaper than spending the night with a Phnom Penh bar girl. I've heard some crazy things in my time, but $200 for a bar girl takes the cake.

The bar girls have probably been reading the overseas classifieds. I saw one bird in Bangkok complaining that some overweight and uneasy on the eyes older escort in Boston was advertising $350 an hour online, the bar girl said wtf I look cute and am 52kg why the hell should I let myself go for 60 quid. I guess she has a point, tryin to do the best for herself.

@@plos2765 That is what the escort in Boston advertises that she wants, that isn't what she actually gets. The fact that this woman in Boston thinks she's worth $350 an hour is the entire reason why men avoid American women and go to places like Thailand in the first place. It isn't just the cheaper prices, it's also the attitude. I can write off 60 quid if the night is horrible, I can't write off $350. My greatest fear is that the entire world is becoming like this, and overseas isn't a good bet anymore. I shudder to think what the world is going to be like in 10 years; I only see things getting worse. Hope I'm wrong.

Very nice town I hope you have a good time and few late nights for drinks in the evening
Looking forward to your vlogs on Kampot. Always wanted to go but don’t really know if there’s anything interesting there except peace and quiet!!

Watching your video today reminded me of those old British TV programmes Wickers World, you too like Alan Wicker are a true adventurer. Looks a nice place where you are staying, expect you'll be able to get a tuk tuk into town & back easy enough.

Looks like you figured out travel in Asia is a compromise . Never forget a German lady yelling at a desk clerk in Phuket about having one day in a different room than she wanted . Same for me just smiled . The next day gave me three different keys to pick a room.
Cheers!!!
My favorite transport from PP to Kampot is Giant Ibis.Still haven’t had an adventure with them yet.
Hi Eddie I have stayed at that exact place it was a lovely place with a lovely restaurant, they do a nice breakfast. Internet a little patchy. It's not too far from town
That's gonna be Classic Edwards saying for the books " NO ONE IS GONNA TOUCH MY LUGGAGE WItHOUT MY PERMISSION" you need to save that clip Mr. Sweeney - you had a Clint Eastwood snarl and I would have backed off the luggage and surrendered my wallet to you to avoid that stare! - and the consequences!

Taken some crazy bus journey's in Cambodia. From Sihanoukville to Phnom Penh on what was like a disco bus being the craziest. Non stop disco lights and music blaring for the whole journey. The hardest bus journey ever endured. I also used 'Pass App' in Cambodia and always get a local sim. Always works well for me.
Welcome to Kampot. Make sure to visit Bokor mountain. The hotel looks to be quite a distance from the centre of Kampot (where the old market once was). You will probably need a tuk tuk to get back at night.
Where you are staying looks so peaceful! Hopefully you will show us some pepper places and then the city itself. Did you want adventure on a bus as opposed to taking trains everywhere?
I always get a taxi normally with a mate or 2 split the bill around $20 to $30 each cheap as chips for length of the journey and it is door to door luv your work eddy cheers

I have lived in Kampot for the last 1.5 years prior to moving there. I lived in Phnom Penh for 3.5 years, and I much prefer living in Kampot. It is much quieter than PP but still plenty of things to keep me occupied. I use Kim Seng Express to go back and forth to PP. Their buses are clean and the drivers usually do not take any crazy risks.
Bloody hell Ed…… With that music playing as you were travelling in the mini bus…. Half expected the Lone Ranger and Tonto to come alongside and save you 🤠

Many great restaurants in downtown Kampot, enjoy your time.

Hi Mr Sweeney. are you filiming in 4K ?, reason I ask is I normally watch on my phone but viewing this video casting from phone to a 4K tv & picture quality is fantastic!!. enjoy Kampot, it's a good spot & there's a brilliant restaurant place in the centre (can't remember the name) but they do steaks, pizza, fresh fruit smoothies etc at very good prices + re those dreaded 100 dollar bills, there is a big supermarket near the main square that will change them for you if you get there early enough in the afternoon & tipping the staff a dollar or 2 helps the process along.

Lovely looking place.🍻
Milanos pizza cafe old market 12.30 today. If your about.
How much are the bar fines in Kampot?...
Ed, you've never been to Kampot yet you decided book a hotel miles and miles out of town?! Why didn't you book in town or did you not check a map to see how far out your place was? TukTuks will cost you more as well due being out of town. It's a Hassel as there is not much chance of a return fare.
What is the name of the hotel you are staying at Ed?
try kep the boat house hotel brilliant , day trip to rabbit island and stop over if you dare .stay in kampot near the old fish market
How much was the return ticket journey?
