Kampot

---

Kampot is a small riverside town just a couple of hours from Sihanoukville. We thought in the beginning we would only pass through but we stayed a few days. We bicycled through town , passed by a Wat and the monks waved us in. We chatted for a while, they offered to show us their temple where the story of Buddha was painted on the walls and ceiling. It was beautiful, colors fantastic.

Kampot is a sleepy town now but it must have been something back in the day. The once beautiful French Colonial architecture is crumbling down and is gradually being replaced with Modern Asian.
