The Small Cambodian City Where All the Expats Live - Kampot
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 14. 07. 2024
- We are visiting Kampot, Cambodia - a popular area for foreign and local tourists, as well as expats living in Cambodia. It's a sleepy river town with a lot of surprises. Above all else, Kampot is known for it's food. Kampot pepper is considered some of the best pepper in the world, with its red, black, green, and white varieties. We visit La Plantation and learn all about the pepper growing process. We also eat a ton of food - from incredible breakfast sandwiches to "the best burger in Cambodia". The riverside is the place to be when in Kampot. There are many riverside resorts that are perfect for relaxation and a cold beer. I think I understand why so many expats choose to grow old and fat in Kampot.

Thank you so much for the shout out and for supplying ride footage for the next few weeks of news moto! It was so great to see all of our old haunts in this video - Kampot has a lot to offer, much more than you would expect for such a small place. Looking forward to the next installment!
Thanks guys! We're looking forward to going back to Kampot. Still have to do Bokor, plus so many great restaurants that we missed.
You deserve it with your excellent channel..
Watching this from lockdown in Shanghai reminds me that there are places where "PRE ROLLS" can be written safely on a wall - it's a lovely reminder.
Have been waiting for this one. Best town in Cambodia,brilliant food,scenery,eassy to get around. Love it here,PP is great for a two day break,then back to the Pot
true but unfortunately the expats from pp and sihanoukville and the drug addicted social problems are taking a toll on once quiet kampot the police should drug test the westerners if arrested and act accordingly.
Thanks for the shout out, seemed a bit hot out there. Never seen long pepper either, and she did say it was spicy
The bloke who owns the coffee shop you went to for breakfast is Angus and he is from our home town, Rockhampton.
He's my new favourite person from Rockhampton. You better step your breakfast sandwich game up.
All of that food looked amazing!
I resent the hell out of you two for where you are! LOL! Super fun! I miss traveling! đđ
Best Breakfast in Esspresso Cafe!!!!!!!!!!!! When they came to pour over my coffee I about jumped out of my skin with joy!
My favorite animations so far!! Youâre so talented! Glad you had such a great time!!
Kampot Pepper Crab.....yum yum.
One of your best videos! Thanks for this one.
I did the same Kayak loop as you guys today. Currently staying in one of the bungalows along the river. Fun to see this video popped up, keep it up!
Great video mate . Just subscribed a minute agođđŒđđŒ
Oh! By the way my cousin went to Cambodia đ°đ three months ago from Bradford Ontario Canada đšđŠ he will be back to Canada in June of this year i told him to buy kompot peppers đ¶ one of best peppers in world for me. Thanks again take care
Hey, I'm a retired truck driver from Calgary. I've been living in Kampot since July 2022, I absolutely love it here. I won't be going back to Canada, I'm here to stay!
the cinematography on this was epic
Am i the only one that got legitimately scared when the buffalo moved his head?
EMF said it best with Unbelievable when it comes to sand as a lubricant.
Highly entertaining vart, Kampot looks great to visit.
Salt-n-Pepa in effect. Another great post!
Push it, push it good.....
Love that song!
Want to go there maybe on next holiday đ
Love your videos always.
Awesome vid! Kampot has made some changes over the past 10 years. Really enjoyed seeing it again. Loved the pepper tour!
Nice video,,,Thanks for sharing I am your FAN.Have a nice day.
Thanks for sharing your video what a beautiful kompot province me and my whole family went to kompot in 2016 i really missed kompot so much. Last time you told me you live in landown and college yes is in downtown Toronto i live in milton west of mississauga ok enjoy your time in kompot province take care bye from milton Ontario Canada đšđŠ nice weather now in Toronto sunny đ plus 14 degrees
Yes kampot is great, I went to that pepper farm
Canât wait to go visit again, From Nebraska
Another great video. Comming to Phnoh Pen from Belgrade in a few days, your videos helped so much! Thanks!
Watching this while chilling in our hotel in Siem Reap, we'll be in Kampot in 2 dayyyyys, we stayed at Baitong in PP after your vid, excellent hotel.
In Kampot definitely eat at Twenty Three Bistro and TertĂșlia. Both have incredible food at reasonable prices.
@@itchyfeetonthecheap Just ate at TertĂșla for lunch today, I think someone needs to get Michelin in on them and get them a star
I LIKE YOUR VIDEO. FUNNY!
Nice one Ryan; you are a funny guy. Made me laugh. Keep up the good work!
Awsome place, spent New Years there, two weeks ago. Did the boat cruise in the evening and it was fun going under the bridges.
Great video and great information.
You make me laugh it great. I'll be in Cambodia sometime soon. Thanks for your time. I wait for your videos,
There great.
Great video spiced with Kampot pepper and perfect screaming - I enjoyed it!
be sure not to miss the fishing boats coming out at night...they have to lower all their masts to fit under the bridge and even with that some of the boast get semi-stuck and need to get pushed by the other boats...theres a little pagoda to watch it from - got amazing photos of this and the crew dancing to music as they head out to fish.
Great tip! Next time we'll check it out. I think Kampot will be a once-a-year thing for us, maybe more.
@@itchyfeetonthecheap , i get it, the food alone makes for a vacation like experience.
Love your video always. Kampot is best known for Pepper, Durian fruit, and Boko Mountain.
top video ! thanks
Welcome to Kampotâšđđ
Great look at Kampot. Super peaceful place, glad you enjoyed it!
So many great restaurants there. You could do a 2hr video easily! Favourite town in cambo without a doubt.
Love kampot. Last time I went there I stayed at a small resort call yellow sun bungalow. I camped there, $6 for a tent. Sun rise and sun set were amazing. I believe it was along the same river you are visiting.
Probably. There are a bunch of places along the river. I felt bad cause I know a lot of them suffered cause of covid. Now they're falling apart but there's no money for improvements.
Definitely moving down there after a visa run and 6 months in Siem Reap. Owkun bong đ
Brilliant guys. Thank you. If you're still there, please spend far too much of your own money and visit more accommodation and cafes, restaurants and bars in Kampot. Pleeeeeeeeze.
2:39 the name was Bopha Prey meaning Wild Flower.
Grilled eggplant, a little of salt and peppercorn on eggplant. And pair with steak, or pork chops. Yummy in the tummy.
In Sichuan they'd grill it up with tons of garlic and chili oil. SO good!
@@itchyfeetonthecheap yes,very delicious, but too much garlic, raise the blood pressure. Use moderately.
Sabay Beach location is outstandingïŒprobably the best place to stay in Kampot, their food is amazing too
It's great, but a bit far from town if you want to enjoy Kampot's lovely dining scene.
I'm living in SR and some of my friends love Kampot. It looks boring AF to me to live there. Dusty roads when dry and muddy roads in the rainy season. Nice video though!
Retirement in Cambodia often comes down to Kampot vs Siem Reap. I don't know which one I'd prefer. SR has more infrastructure - I'd like to be able to go to a movie theatre. Kampot has more nature - the river is very appealing. The For Riel people have lived in both and they prefer SR too. I think I'd try a couple months in both before deciding.
Hoping for a really good burger in Siem Reap ! --- Supposedly a lot of good food there ? --- It's my ideal retirement destination for super cheap comfortable living. --- Great look @ Kampot - close enough for me ! Too remote and isolated for my liking. More my style to fly from SR to Bangkok for some really awesome food and looking around a bit ? Maybe a quality cheap medical checkup while there for a few days. --- Enjoyed watching this though just don't need to go. I love pepper & enjoyed that. Overall a nice trip. Keep em coming !!!
Really good burgers are hard to come by in Cambodia. Mediocre burgers are available though. Maybe try Jungle Burger in Siem Reap.
EMF- laughed my ass off at 1400 flame shot- another great vart
I really loved Kampot. My fave part of Cambodia.
Lovely
Great vid - you crack me up! The painting, seemingly of the random cafe customer, almost had me spitting my coffee out.
Great video, just subscribed đ
Chillin' at da Boathouse with yer Lady-friend eh !
Yer goofy and I like it đđđ
Someone needs to paddle a lil faster. Tell her to speed it up! Kidding!! Sarah does a great job in the vids. Enjoyed the video and your witty...well wit! đ€Ș
You should check out Sabay Beach. It is really beautiful! Oh. You went to Sabay Beach. lol My bad.
Is the Rusty Keyhole still going? They used to do incredible ribs... Oh, should have waitedđ Looks like they have a nice new site. Kampot was always my favourite place in Cambodia 10y ago. Looking even better now.
There's also a Rusty Keyhole 2 that was pretty busy every time we walked by, despite it not having any riverside views.
@@itchyfeetonthecheap The old one was on the main river street. But even back then they had a #2, a Sports Bar further back from the river.
The original Rusty Keyhole closed many many years ago...
@@mikebaker7522 Thanks for the info, Mike. To be honest, it was pretty small and on the big road so I can understand why they'd move to the river - I'm looking forward to seeing it!
@@ChrisKirtley the story I heard that the owners fell out and set up independently at Rusty 1 and Rusty 2.
Love the green peppercorns as they complement most dishes...not sure about them on ice cream though. Enjoying your varts and cheers.
Hi Charlie from Boston USA here. I will be visiting a friend in the south for one month in April Banteay Meanchey Cambodia. Of course I have been watching many of your videos and I appreciate all the information. I got to be honest you are so Friggn funny man. I gotta tell ya I loved you breathing fire and catching that young Cambodian ladyâs ass on fire while she screamed. Funny stuff. Great way for me to start a day with a good laugh. Sending you both peace and love. Look forward to more videosđ
" The pepper is legit " ( from the pepper expert )
Man i miss the days you could just take a lil boat around lakeside in PP : (
đčđčđč
Good morning TQ
đ°đđ
Coming on my motorbike from Thailand to visit old sailor friend who moved here from Phuket a number of years ago, great to get a pre view of the place.
Can you cross a Thai-Cambodia border on a motorbike without any problems?
I think I should prepare myself to stay longer than planned, I want to explore the country.
To much of them peppers give me heartburn
We both ate too many and felt it later.
Swimming inda river ? Aint there crocs out there ?
Mate Cambodia is just perfect country. we have everything, if you want seafood we got em, you want exotic food and fruits we got em( suggest you try durian kompot it the freaking best). We got a mix food of Chinese thai Vietnam indian khmer cuisine for you. i recommend you to go to the north east of our country for some good Mountain vibe
I definitely want to make it to Ratanakiri one day. Looks amazing.
@Billy Boyd im too young to understand that man
@13:37 squirrel! đŹ
I wish I had done more research before I opened my classical jazz club, the rusty trombone.
đđ đ Well done.
Great vlog bro. My wifeâs Khmer. Hopefully be up there in August. Whatâs the story with the police pulling up the barang on scooters ? Apart from the normal shake down to make their lunch money weâve heard rumours they are trying to discourage barang from riding / hiring scooter ?
I haven't had any problems or heard that. I'll ask around and let you know.
@@itchyfeetonthecheap thanks for the reply. Great channel with real time information.
Discrimination against Barang or Farang? in Kampot?
Did that burger and fries fill you up? At P72 bar in Pattaya a hamburger and fries is just under $6 and it is a lot of food. It always fills me up.
it's the edits for meee
Can you do a video of an upcoming area of cambodia where there is a good grocery store in walking disrance to residential condos?
Hey man, any cool backpacking spots to recommend while in Phnom Penh?
Haha! Yâall had at Gangster Paradise but then Sara(h) rowing! Yâall donât know people like this! Too good
Very beautiful Kampot, Kingdom.. Better video if Sarah smacks you off the boat đ„
That's why I chose to sit behind her.
đđ€Łđ
Kampot the last hold of the Holocaust causing Khmer rouge. Some dark spirits there. Never saw happy vibes in that city. Poverty .poverty and them young expats acting all hunk dory in a spiritually dark , dark history. Enjoy your black pepper
Did you go to Bokor, by the way? That's an interesting trip, though I dare say the mountain has been overtaken by Chinese gambling?
Not this time, but I was there about 4 years ago. Beautiful place at that time. I'd like to see it now. I don't think it's been completely ruined by any means.
@@itchyfeetonthecheap The abandoned casino got renovated

Too bad about Boeungket football shirtâŠ.
I'm not sure if that Rusty Keyhole is connected to the original restaurant that Chris setup 15+ years ago.
I don't think so. I think this one is owned by a former business partner, maybe.
If you hear banjo music, paddle faster
I wonder, is that pepper similar to Sichuan Pepper in China?
No, totally different. Black pepper is a berry, I think. Sichuan pepper is the husk of a seed. The taste is way different too.
Wait, wait... Pre rolls $3.50? What exactly is being rolled?
Putting the pot in Kampot.
Your channel thumbnail is kind of hard to tell what it is. If i didnt read the video headline carefully i would have easily passed up watching this video, which i think did happen before
Good to know. Thanks
It sounds Cam pot to me, đ
You should have got a Bloody Mary at cafe Espresso
I try not to drink before 9AM.
yo
J Break Hotel? Is that Jail break hotel perhaps? hehehehe
I didn't even think of that. It didn't feel like a prison.
Bruh, is that YOU rapping on the song?? Im sitting here telling my wife that thats you
Not me. If you want to hear me rap, look up my tapas video in Spain. It's not pretty though.
$5 for a burger and $4 for a beer? What is this, clip joints of the 3rd world?
$5 for the best burger in Cambodia?! I think it's a pretty good deal. No respect for the craft of making beer? Take your classless ass outta here, jabroni.
Cambodia should keep their forest for tourism many country can visit when you cut down the forest like Vietnam you country not beautiful anymore
I hope they can, but it comes down to money for a lot of these developing countries.
16:25
go to Cambodia to eat the best hamburger ....???? & of course eggs and bacon like home . make you safer ?
You trying to flex on me? Step to this...
I guess there are crocodiles in the river.
I don't know...you look like Alligator food in that river! LOL.... đ€Šââđ€Šââđđ
Just like Thailand locals go by scooter only walk short distances. I always get stared at, mind you the pavements are shit.
SarahâŠâJust be quiet!â Youâre lucky she didnât dump youâŠ..silly boy!
