While most visitors to Kampot rush off to explore Bokor, Kep or the pepper farms, they often miss what’s right in front of them. The town is full of history, culture, and little surprises that are easy to overlook.
Jason’s Sunset Walking Tour is a 90-minute journey into the past of Kampot, while catching the stunning sunset along the river. During that time, you’ll be taken through its days as a haven for pirates, to the French colonial period, and finally, the transformations shaping it today.
Jason has a knack for uncovering what others miss, whether it’s the faded marks left by war, the local spirits and shrines tucked into quiet corners, or the fascinating architecture and history of local buildings. His love for Cambodian history and culture gives you a new way to see Kampot, one that you might have otherwise overlooked.
The tour isn’t limited to the town itself. From the history of Bokor Hill, the legacy of Kampot Pepper, and local myths and legends, you’ll get all the context you’ll need to appreciate the rest of your stay in town.
This tour is a perfect first step for any visit to Kampot.
Jason’s Sunset Walking Tour of Kampot leaves at 5pm from The Monkey Republic Hostel reception, every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. No reservations are necessary.
