Cambodia's Best Beach Town for Living or Retiring

Kep, Cambodia is the most charming place in all of Cambodia. It's a beach town - best known for its delicious food. Fresh seafood is on the menu, specifically blue crab, which can be found in all of the crab shacks located right on the ocean. Every incredible meal comes with an equally incredible view of the Gulf of Thailand.
Kep is also nature. Beautiful birds, lizards, the occasional money, and an immense collection of flora, including fruit and peppercorn trees.
Kep is growing, and I'll show you the new sailing club - a beautiful building on the coast - the most modern building in the province. We'll do a quick tour of the town and see just how charming this part of Cambodia can be.

The mat guy and the crab lady actually said 20000=5$ and 50000=12.26$

My family used to have a cabin on the hill overlooking the golf back in the 60s there. Kep is still a sleepy town today. Only memory lives on. Peace✌️

Kep is one of my favourite places in Cambodia I have stayed at Sabay, beautiful place. I loved the restaurants and the crab market, loved going to the market first thing in the morning and getting freshly cooked pancakes.

We stayed at the same place. It was really nice and good value.

The guy at 13:00 - he was tenderising the sea. Makes your crab meat less chewy. You’re welcome.

Nice upload. Thanks!

Woah I just came back from Kep. Amazing place! Don't miss the lovely bicycle/motorbike ride through Kep National Park. They just paved it!

That guy said 20, 000 ($5) - it's the standard price everywhere in Cambodia for renting this type of chilling out space. The lady selling the crab said 50, 000 not 5000 (pretty certain). Literally no one in cambo sells a KG of blue crab for 5000, if they do, run lol

[wayneedwards]

Late last year I visited Kep for the day and I found the market amazing and enjoyed the coffee shops, the beach was....ordinary but I am Australian and so there are few beaches outside our country that enthuse us. The roads were wide and clean and there seemed to be a lot of civic pride in the town. It certainly is much more charming than Shitnoukville. I agree with you that it might be a bit boring to live there full time but p[personally I am not crossing it off my list. There is a lot to like in Cambodia.

[margaretslater]

I can’t wait to visit and explore these small towns especially the sea food. ❤❤

Thanks for this, not a place we'd considered before. 👍🏻
