One of the best things about this video is seeing you travel with your Dad. He looks so happy to be along for the ride. And proud of you. Thanks for sharing the views and info. Cheers!
Very nice video, I always see travel channel where the people traveling are couple or friends, is the first time that I see daughter and father traveling together, beautiful way to enjoy with the family
Excellent video 📹 👍! Kampot is my new home 🏡. I've been in Cambodia 9 months now from Canada 🇨🇦. I absolutely love Kampot, location, people, food & things to see and do. Your Dad is cool 😎 👌! Great job showing off Kampot 🙏
The app you need for transport in Kampot (and most other towns/cities in Cambodia) is Passap. It is like Grab but specifically for the white rickshaw tuk-tuks that you can see at various points in this video. It's super easy to use, gives a fixed fare and route suggestion for each journey. Way easier than 'negotiating' a price with a driver and you can easily book one from your location/to where you want to go without trying to explain in Khmer. The rickshaws that use it have orange Passap signs on them.
As always Alina shows and explains some of the best things about Kampot and area. She enjoys putting Dad on the spot, but he is obviously enjoying his travels with the daughter. Didn't know anything about pepper plantations and to be honest never really thought about pepper, cause it always been everywhere. Short and sweet tour of a nice looking place to visit.
Thank you! Yeah can’t say I ever considered where pepper comes from so this was interesting. Also another ‘unique’ thing we did after the tour was a taste test of like 10 different pepper blends that they make. Quite literally just tasting pepper lol my mouth was on fire.
Thank you Alina for this beautiful video. The weather is fantastic and Kampot and its surroundings are truly amazing. I think that Cambodia could be a pleasant country to spend a great holiday, very peaceful and also safe. Your dad seems to be so happy to discover all these magnificent places and you are really a good tour guide for him.
Hey alina McLeod nice tour in kampot, Cambodia nice, restaurant, food, company, dia soleado, plantas , areas Verdes , y te miras bonita! con tu sombrero
Hi Alina! I'm enjoying your slow-paced and lovely get-away to Kampot, with your dad! There are some nice attractions here, things to see and do, along with some fine restaurants and bars.
Hi Alina , thanks for sharing. Great that you got spend some time with your Dad there. I spent a lot of time in Thailand and Cambodia between 2009-12 and also did side trips to Myanmar(Burma) and Laos. I did volunteer teaching and quite a few music gigs in both Thailand and Cambodia. I had a job in Vancouver that allowed me take an unpaid leave in the winters during that period. I would have loved to bring my parents there but I don't think either of them would have done it at the time. Especially the long haul flight. I love Kampot..My personal favourite in Cambodia. I have been there a few times and stayed at a place on the river (about a 10 minute motorbike ride outside of town) called Bodhi Villa, an old Buddhist meditation retreat turned backpackers haven that had a recording studio and live music on weekends. I stayed in the dorm (2.50 USD per night ) a treehouse (9.00 USD per night) and also a floating bungalow (12 USD per night). You could literally roll out of bed right into the river lol. Did a lot of paddle boarding on that river. I became friends with the owner and recorded in the studio there and played in the house band with him on weekends entertaining tourists from all over the world on 2 different visits there. It was such a blast. All of the locals and staff that worked there were amazing people. Sadly that place is gone now and got developed into something else. I would rent a motorbike and cruise all over southern Cambodia and made a trip to Rabbit island off the coast of Kep in Kampot province. I visited that temple cave you went to plus another bat cave. You had to walk through rice fields on these wooden boards because the fields were flooded. I rode a motorbike to a small mountain that my friend told me about where a witch lived inside a cave at the top. These kids from the small village led me up the mountain to the witch. I met her and gave here a pack of cigarettes and she showed me her cave which was basically her own little Buddhist monastery. After that I cruised up Bokor Mountain where I hit a pothole (the roads were crap back then) and wiped out on my moto. Luckily I was just bruised and made it up to the top and back down. I have watched your other videos on Cambodia and Pai and Chiang Mai. Very interesting how much Cambodia in particular has changed so much. The first time I went to Siem Reap in December of 2009 there was still dirt roads. Phnom Penh still had dirt roads in 2010 -11. Everything looks so much more developed now in Siem Reap , PP and Kampot. The temples in SR are incredible. I visited a lot of small ones that had no tourists ..You could hear the din of the jungle and lots of monkeys around. Otherworldly experience. That same trip ( Dec. 2009 - my first trip to SE Asia) I also ended up in Pai ,Thailand where I spent Christmas. It was beautiful. One thing that probably hasn't changed is the food. Oh the food is amazing in both countries and so cheap. BTW Rikitavi used to be called Rikitikitavi lol. I believe there was one in Phnom Penh too. Is there still Happy Pizza there? I had a Happy Shake once. I thought it was weed but it was actually mushrooms haha! I was up all night. I hope to make it back to SE Asia sooner than later. It is an extraordinary part of the world. I hope I am not disappointed with how much it has changed. Obviously lots of foreign investment has helped perpetuate that. Cambodia was (maybe still is) a country of extremes. One day you would be having a great time and the next day you would see something totally heart wrenching... so maybe things have lessened in regards to corruption and the crime/seediness. I always felt that Kampot was a safe haven from all that though. Anyways, just thought I would share some of my stories. A lot more where that came from. Scott
Hello Alina! 😄🙏👋🌟 I hope your having a marvelous day! This is really a magnificent super fantastic video! 😁👍❤️👏📹🇰🇭🥇💯💫✨🌟 The city of Kampot looks so amazing! Bokor National Park looks marvelous!

Awesome videos .keep up the good work . Amazing Asian places to settle down ,away from Snow and that freezingweathers. Keep up the Good work . U look like a pisces ,travelling around the world . creating beautiful Memories , is what we all take back in the end.
A Wonderful video Alina! I've lived in Thailand for 15 yrs, but time to move on with my Thai wife and Kampot seems to be our next destination in the next few months.
Hello Alina, had not heard about Kampot before. Great audio 👍🏻 My first thought seeing You with the hat, You could start a series: Hats allover the world. You already collected so many. 🙂 Best regards, Ralf
Thank you Alina for this video! I'm planning a trip to Cambodia and always wanted to go to Kampot because of the pepper plantations. However, lately a read so many negative things about the town, I was not sure about it. I'm glad you enjoyed your time there!
I lived in kampot in 2020 - one of the best times of my life (basically a massive party while the rest of the world was in lockdown!)! It should be on everyone’s bucket list - total paradise!
@6:32, I just simple LUV how your nails match your padres dragonfruit drink ! I hope he at least got a little splash of rum in there to go with his dinna !
Thanks Alina..great to see you and your dad traveling together..love watching your videos and going to places where i may not have even thought of visiting..be safe
I love kampot! I'll be returning for a longer stay in April! Thanks for helping put it on the map it's so underated!! Also love your dad and your relationship. So wholesome! I'm flying my mum to meet me in Kampot from Australia so this has me so excited for that! Cheers! 🎉❤
It's most sting fruit Duran but when you make with bakery call NOP Pear with bean. It is one of delicious cake. You can find it in Chinese Cambodian or Vietnamese Cambodian
My parents' homeland. But we rarely go to the Kampong town. :D. Durian from Kampot is so famous for Cambodian. It is tasty but a bit high price compare to other durian from other provinces. Durian is a fruit symbol of Kampot Province. Other famous food is Fish sauce, sea crab and Nom Banh Jok..etc...
You always make it. Every detailed information and story you tell always draw my interest. Big smile from the silent daddy and your nice treatment to him is another interesting thing for me to follow and watch. I did enjoy this video as a whole. I do agree that Kampot is indeed an interesting place to visit. Stay healthy and happy Alina and Dad. May success be yours. I will always look forward to watching your next videos. Hug and warm love from your Indonesian fan. Thank you Alina.
Thank you for visiting Cambodia for me, I was born in Northwestern of the country. Odar Meanchey province. I'm happy to see you and your dad enjoyed the trip. The big Bird you have seen in the Wat Phnom is called the Great horn bill bird. Stay happy, healthy and safe 😂😅
Thank you so much, so beautiful girl❤️️🙏 That visiting Cambodia and thanks for sharing the video to world say about Cambodian🙏🙏❤️️❤️️. I wish you and your family have good health and good luck all the time❤️️❤️️😘
Rikki Tikki Tavi was a single-episode cartoon special in 1975 where the title character was a very cute and valiant mongoose who defended his [human] family from evil cobras. We watched it a few times as kids, loved it. Seems to be available on TH-cam. I just learned from googling: the story is actually part of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book.
Thanks for this lovely video.. I visited Kampot in the eighties I think but can’t remember much about it. I was hoping your video might jog my memory (it hasn’t). I did stay on a durian farm once. They are quite different when picked fresh
I have tried - I think! - most pepper samples from everywhere, but nothing matches or comes close to the taste of Kampot pepper - the genuine one that is and not the one sold as Kampot pepper. There is - or was - a pepper shop in the vicinity of Kampot town that sells the pepper, mostly pepper beans. I bought a small portion of pickled pepper beans and this was amazing with stake. Highly recommended.
I live here in Kampot and have for the last 3 years. Enjoyed your vlog, but you made a mistake about us not having Uber. Cambodia uses PassApp. I use it all the time. It is great to know what the fare is before you get in the tuktuk, and you don't need to worry about translating your destination to the driver. Also, Kampot is more of a destination to live as an expat. Super cheap, if you want it to be.
Great presentation of Kampot. It is a very relaxed and pleasant place. I and my Cambodian wife has some land there and we go there every time I am in the country (I currently work elsewhere). Rikitavi is a nice place and we stayed there just before Christmas and have good food that fits the more cautious traveller. I also always visit the Kampot Pie and Icecream Palace that is at the riverside on the corner opposite the Fish market restuarant. It has been around for at least 15-16 years and have very good ice cream and pastries. A correction: there is a another great booking service for tuktuks in Cambodia that service Kampot and that is PassApp. It is very easy to use, just as Grab. Be aware that those booking services also charge the drivers for each ride (around 1400 riels), and sometimes the drivers may ask you to cancel the booking to avoid paying the fee. Don't do that. Instead, round up the amount it costs to the nearest 1000 riels and then add another 1000 riel. Then both the service can survive as well as the driver get compensation for the fee they need to pay. They have low pay and the competition is fierce among the drivers.

it’s perfectly safe over there! don’t worry!
It was not about safety, just that Kampot became the town for old, single western men...
Great to see you in Cambodia, My beautiful country. You must be experiencing the best things over there. Thanks for your visiting.
Welcome to Cambodia. Have a great holiday 💖
I lived in kampot in 2020 - one of the best times of my life (basically a massive party while the rest of the world was in lockdown!)! It should be on everyone’s bucket list - total paradise!
Love your videos and good to see Cambodia through your lens.

Dream Place !!! I love KAmpot so much.
Campot is a beautiful and relaxing town to live

Check out KEP city by the beach not far at all from Kampot if you have time, Alina. Cheers !

hey, i'm starting travel vloging after life became difficult to survive, i have to do whatever it takes...you r one of inspiration.
Alina I enjoy your presentation.👾👾👾👽👾👾👾
I think I have a preference for the more out of the way places with a rustic feel Alina. Your videos impress! 💙💙
Thanks q for visit Cambodia Kampot ❤
really nice view, I hope you are given health
Love your video, sweet and fun! A Question if you don’ mind: Did you take malarone pill before you entered Cambodia?
Very helpful, thanks!
Love your care of your father. Very admirable 🥰
Very good Alena
Thanks for this lovely video.. I visited Kampot in the eighties I think but can’t remember much about it. I was hoping your video might jog my memory (it hasn’t). I did stay on a durian farm once. They are quite different when picked fresh
So clean and nice!#
Welcome to Cambodia.
Can't wait to see your dad trying Durian for the first time.
What a huge roundabout
Good morning from Phnom Penh
Fantastic Alina BTW China is open
I have tried - I think! - most pepper samples from everywhere, but nothing matches or comes close to the taste of Kampot pepper - the genuine one that is and not the one sold as Kampot pepper. There is - or was - a pepper shop in the vicinity of Kampot town that sells the pepper, mostly pepper beans. I bought a small portion of pickled pepper beans and this was amazing with stake. Highly recommended.
Alina, thank you for sharing!

Amazed she missed mentioning Passap!! I wouldn't like to be in Cambodia without it (when not on my own bike)
Good night...Alina.
