โรงแรมใกล้ Krong Kep Blue Crab Statue

The kep statue was cool. I’m glad i got to see it and take some photos. It wasn’t crowded at all and very big.

...not much to see in the area surrounding the statue, but still worth a visit. There are numerous dilapidated houses in the surrounding forest. The French wanted to build a new residence here.

This statue is quite outstanding and stands out well. It symbolise the famous flower sea crabs in Kep but unfortunately no more and what's left are baby and small ones. There are few mobile stalls set up along the pathway here selling bbq shrimps and squids but no crabs.

Riding down from Kampot. Half journey road condition is bad with potholes. Beach is not suitable for swimming. It's just a place to enjoy the sea breeze. Nearby Hill, there are some cafes with an awesome view of the horizon. The weekends are fully packed with locals coming in drove to enjoy a whole day lazing around in rented huts with hammocks. Seafood was famous among the locals coming from nearby towns.

Kep is a big disappointment... The beach is full of trash and metal pieces, so be careful where you put your feet. The water is dirty and I wouldn't recommend swimming here. There are not many options if you are looking for a normal sit down restaurant, but a lot of street food options. We had heard so many nice things about Kep, but non of them was true in our eyes. We had booked 4 nights here, but decided to leave after 2 nights.
