Where to stay

Rikitikitavi is the riverside hotel on Street 735. Hotel Old Cinema is in the grid. Upriver, the Teuk Chhou road is the longer stay — bungalows a scooter ride from dinner.

La Plantation publishes 9:00 AM–5:00 PM, last tour at 4:00 PM, free to enter. The countryside tours add salt fields and, sometimes, BoTree. It is a ride east, not a walk from the old market.

Plan your trip

3 days in Kampot: a simple itinerary

Kampot is a river town with the old town at its center. Pepper farms, the salt fields, caves and Bokor Mountain are all day trips from it. Here is one way to spend three days, with each stop linked to its guide or listing.

  1. Day 1

    The old town and the river

    Stay on foot. Walk the market streets, see the lotus pond, and book a dinner. Finish with the night market or a riverside drink.

  2. Day 2

    Pepper, salt and caves

    Head east and toward Kep by tuk-tuk or scooter. Visit a pepper farm, drive past the salt fields, then climb to the cave temple.

  3. Day 3

    Bokor Mountain or the water

    Give Bokor a full day for the summit road, the waterfall and the ruins. Or stay low: upriver rapids, a river cruise, or dolphin tours.

About Kampot, Cambodia

Kampot is a riverside town in southern Cambodia, close to the coast and to Kep. It is known for its old French-era shophouses, Kampot pepper, salt fields, and the forested Bokor Mountain behind town. Visitors come for the slow river evenings, cafés and restaurants, and day trips into the countryside.

Kampot Guide lists what is actually here, from places to eat and stay to banks, pharmacies and transport. Each listing names its sources, so you can see how fresh the information is before you plan around it.

Getting to Kampot

The Royal Railway station is on National Road 3, a tuk-tuk north of the river — not a walk with a bag. A 4 October 2026 fare check listed Phnom Penh trains from about US$10. Giant Ibis was about US$8, with the office on Street 724 inside the old town. Days and times move, so confirm the departure you actually want.

Kampot travel guide FAQs

Are the map pins the front door?

A mapped doorway is a surveyed point. A street estimate is the road, not the gate. Listings with no pin stay off the map. New businesses only get a pin after a verify agent stands at the door.

Which time zone do the hours use?

Asia/Phnom_Penh. Open and closed labels on the directory use that clock, not the visitor’s phone timezone.

Where do people eat in Kampot?

Most dinners are in the old town, on streets such as 726 and 722, and along the river on Street 735. Epic Arts Café is on Street 730. Twenty Three is closed Monday and Tuesday. The directory lists each room with the public score and the source.

Can I visit a Kampot pepper farm?

La Plantation, east of town, publishes 9:00 AM–5:00 PM, with the last tour at 4:00 PM and free entry. A guided tasting is paid. BoTree is the smaller farm some countryside tours add. Book the ride before you go; these are not a walk from the river.

Where can I support dog rescue and adoption in Kampot?

Kampot Dog Sanctuary rescues and cares for vulnerable dogs in Kampot, Cambodia. Its official website has information about adoption, sponsorship, and donations; contact the sanctuary before travelling because regular visiting hours could not be confirmed.

What are the best things to do in Kampot?

Most visitors combine the old town, the river, and day trips: Bokor Mountain, Phnom Chhnork cave temple, Kampot pepper farms, the salt fields toward Kep, and the Teuk Chhou rapids. Each has a page on the guide with its address and, when published, its hours.

How many days do you need in Kampot?

Three days covers the main sights without rushing: one in the old town and on the river, one east for pepper, salt and caves, and one for Bokor or the water. Add more nights if you want slower river days or the upriver Teuk Chhou stays.

Where can I rent a motorbike or book a tour in Kampot?

The directory lists motorbike rental, tuk-tuk tours, river cruises, and day trips under Services and Tours. Check each page for the contact details and any published hours, and confirm the price before you go.

Are there pharmacies and a hospital in Kampot?

Yes. The Services category lists pharmacies, banks, and the Kampot Referral Hospital. Check each page for the address and any published hours, and call ahead for anything urgent.

How do I get to Kampot from Phnom Penh?

The Royal Railway station is on National Road 3, north of the old town. A 4 October 2026 price check listed trains from about US$10. Giant Ibis buses were about US$8, with the ticket office on Street 724. Confirm the specific departure before you leave.

Business listings in Kampot

How does Kampot Guide decide a place is still open?

Each listing was checked against public sources on 10 October 2026 — Tripadvisor, operator sites, hotel inventories, foodpanda, and OpenStreetMap. The page names the source. If a weekly clock was not published, the listing says so instead of inventing hours.

How does a business get on the guide?

You do not need an account to ask for a visit. Leave the name, a phone number, and a pin inside Kampot province. The verify agent comes to that pin, photographs the building, and creates the login there. The visit is $10, paid to the verify agent by KHQR (scan the Cambodian QR code with any banking app). Featured placement on the homepage is $12.5 a month after the page is approved, or $15 a month for Featured Max, which adds labelled sponsored cards in relevant Ask Kampot answers.
