The Small Cambodian City Where All the Expats Live - Kampot
We are visiting Kampot, Cambodia - a popular area for foreign and local tourists, as well as expats living in Cambodia. It's a sleepy river town with a lot of surprises. Above all else, Kampot is known for it's food. Kampot pepper is considered some of the best pepper in the world, with its red, black, green, and white varieties. We visit La Plantation and learn all about the pepper growing process. We also eat a ton of food - from incredible breakfast sandwiches to "the best burger in Cambodia". The riverside is the place to be when in Kampot. There are many riverside resorts that are perfect for relaxation and a cold beer. I think I understand why so many expats choose to grow old and fat in Kampot.

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!

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.

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.
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 !!!

Of course I have been watching many of your videos and I appreciate all the information. I got to be honest you are so Friggn funny man.

Sending you both peace and love. Look forward to more videos😊
