Thanks ❤️ Jan still needs to pass the bike license first if we want to take the bike for long-distance trips. Are the roads that bad? We have this bajaj dominar with a ktm duke 400 engine, great for traveling long distances, but not so great on very muddy roads. Dirt roads are fine but slippery muddy roads are not ideal. We drove it to SR once and it was absolutely fine. But then they roads were in perfect condition.
Is your place still far from SR? Now that we can visit the temples for free as a foreigner I would love to go one more time. Might be nice to combine both.
Seeing all your pics you might be right that you live in a place with the best views in Cambodia. But I guess we'll have to come and check it out.
I am so happy for you guys that you found a spot where you can all be happy together as a family.
Always welcome here too! But be prepared. Kep and especially Kampot are not the same anymore. I wonder if you will still recognize this place.
Big hug from us to everyone!
Okay, I remember the Bajaj, better suited for highway travel, but no problem , the highway west from Pursat is good enough and it's all very scenic within the first 3-4 minutes of leaving Pursat. It is possible to come down from Battambang without the highway, and that is how Pov recently traveled to Siem Reap, but it was a dusty rough ride. Surely better to stick to the highways to get here, from Siem Reap is possible in a day.
The views here are incredible, no accommodation for about 15km in all directions, only our current project. I think the bigger business won't come here because the valley is too narrow and the microclimate too extreme, not good for profits.
My hopes aren't high for Kampot, but I'm a realist, so hopefully I can handle it, no regrets though. I know we made the right choice for longterm living to get out of Kampot. Keep us up to date and we can plan for some special adventures before you come. You can see the Gulf of Thailand from the top of the mountain across the river here, a 2 or 3 day roundtrip, but we haven't found time to do it yet.
