KEP
Kep (also known as Keb) is a municipality in Cambodia with the status of a province. It is subdivided into two districts. Kep, which is located just a few kilometers from the border with Vietnam, used to be Cambodia's most popular beach town but has fallen on hard times in recent years. Many of Kep's villas are abandoned, but some of the town's former splendor is still apparent. The ocean is lined with wide sidewalks and large statues that now seem largely out of place. The king built a palace overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, but it was never furnished and now sits empty. A good, paved road connects the town with Kampot. Kep's beaches are mostly mangrove and black rock rather than the white sands of Sihanoukville, but Rabbit Island is just a short boat ride away. Kep appears to be experiencing something of a renaissance, with several mid-range and luxury guesthouses and bungalows recently open or under construction. The town's seafood is cheap, plentiful and delicious - particularly the crabs. In addition, Kep is home to an extensive national park.

There are some nice-looking homes of French and Khmer style scattered about, adding to the pleasant feel of the place.
The rare freshwater Irrawaddy dolphins make their home in the Mekong River, just north of Kratie. With only around fifteen to twenty remaining, they are worth a visit.

Stung Treng is now a peaceful town rebuilding itself, the beauty of this province can be breathtaking and surprising. Located near where the Sekong River meets the Mekong this is a traditionally a fishing and farming region and port for many of the west and a gate way to the Lao boarder.
An easy bike ride just outside the town can take you into peaceful farming and fishing villages, with rice fields, old bamboo huts and a vision of how much of Cambodia would have been. A slow boat up the Mekong River can take you to a 3km waterfall that stretches across the span of the Mekong at the Lao boarder. Even the size and power of this waterfall doesn’t deter local fishermen from living there perched on rocks, making outstandingly engineered fishing traps out of bamboo and fallen timber. On return you may be fortunate enough to see one of the last of the protected Mekong River Dolphins.
As a Buddhist country there are many old Pagodas (temples) in Stung Treng housing some beautiful old art work depicting Buddha's story and hold many celebrations and festivals. It is a gateway to seeing the jungle animals, mountains and tribes of Ratanakiri, the Ho Chi Min Trail, or even experiencing a fishing trip on the Mekong. The people of Stung Treng are warm and friendly, the children extremely sociable, many still curious when seeing a foreigner but there's always a “hello”. Much of the food is rural and Lao influenced as in much of this region the local people are both Lao and Khmer. The market is an adventure as many of the local villages bring their catch of the day or unusual vegetables or plants to sell. The many animals that use the roads is amusing and caution needs to be taken getting around!
