Krong Kep
From Sihanoukville, a great destination is the once-popular
resort town of Kep. The Khmer Rouge did a number on this town, but
the crumbling villas of past French and rich Cambodian tourists add
to its ruinous mystique. A beautiful coastal road and nearby Rabbit
Island provide present day visitors with a relaxed atmosphere. For
the best restaurants in town, and best seafood in Cambodia, try the
shack-like buildings near the water and order the crab. Kep is
around a 3 hour taxi ride from Sihanoukville, or a 4 hour bus ride
from Phnom Phen.

Address
3 hours southwest of Phnom Penh
Language
Khmer is the official language. French is also spoken,
but English is fast becoming popular with the younger
generation.
Money
Riel (KHR) is the official currency and is divided into 100 sen.
Foreign currency is difficult to exchange with the exception of US
Dollars. Most transactions require cash. US dollars and Thai Baht
are accepted, although smaller transactions are usually done in
riel. A torn US dollar note renders it useless. Credit cards are
only accepted in a limited number of tourist-orientated hotels and
restaurants in Phnom Penh and larger towns. There are a few ATMs in
Phnom Penh, but they shouldn't be relied upon as a source of money;
travellers cheques in US dollars or sterling can be cashed at a
limited number of banks and larger hotels, though travellers
cheques are not recommended due to limited acceptance.
