⚠️Tips & warnings
Order crab with green Kampot pepper — the most famous dish in all of Cambodia, cooked here with real authenticity.
📍 On the ground
Getting around: A tuk-tuk or van from Kampot (~30min) or a direct bus from Phnom Penh (~3h). A very small town that walks entirely.
Halal & prayer places: Rare — a small fishing town with no declared halal options; fresh crab and seafood are cooked in front of you, so ask directly about the cooking method and ingredients.
Local safety: Same as country →
Cost figures: 2026 prices: a green-pepper crab dish at the crab market $6-10, a small-boat trip to Koh Tonsay (Rabbit Island) ~$5, guesthouse $10-20/night.
