The Moon Kampot Boutique

Kampot is a city in southern Cambodia and the capital of Kampot province. It is situated on the Praek Tuek Chhu River, southeast of the Elephant Mountains, and around five kilometres from the Gulf of Thailand. Kampot was the capital of the Circonscription Résidentielle de Kampot under French rule and Cambodia's most important seaport after the loss of the Mekong Delta and before the establishment of Sihanoukville. Its center is, unlike most Cambodian provincial capitals, composed of 19th-century French colonial architecture. The region and town are known for high-quality pepper, which is exported worldwide. It is also known for its fish sauce, sea salt, and durian. The government and the Ministry of Culture and Fine Art have been preparing documents to nominate the Old Town of Kampot for admission to the UNESCO World Heritage Site list, since 2017.

As you make your way through the town, you'll be greeted by stunning colonial architecture, which is a reminder of the French influence on the region. The town is also famous for its pepper plantations, where you can taste some of the world's best pepper.

One of the most popular activities in Kampot is taking a river cruise along the Kampot River, where you can marvel at the beautiful scenery and spot wildlife such as monkeys and birds. Alternatively, you can go kayaking or paddle-boarding along the river for a more active experience.
