Kampot

It feels like a world away from Phnom Penh. Chilled and charming. Crumbling colonial buildings line its streets. One of the elements I liked most about Kampot was the local NGO attempts to help bring work to those who would otherwise find it impossible. This attempt is perfectly incorporated into my favourite cafe in Kampot - 'The Epic arts cafe'. Unfortunately despite Kampot being a nice place, extreme poverty does still exist and we experienced the harsh realities of the extent some people are forced to go to. We were robbed in the middle of the night by two men in balaclavas. This is not a normal occurrence for Kampot and was perhaps more organised crime than an opportunity to help feed your family - but it still happened.
