Currently known for its fresh crab and sleepy, old world feel, Kep is looking to change its image. Using white sand from Sihanoukville’s Otres Beach, the government of Kep has extended the towns’s current beach in the hopes of attracting new clientele.
The beach in Kep is now six times wider than before, making it much more suited for sun bathing beach goers.
This move shows the beach-side town’s effort to re-brand itself as an upscale alternative to Sihanoukville’s crowds.
Located in the South of Cambodia on the Gulf of Thailand, Kep is one of our favourite Cambodian locations for those guests looking to slow down and appreciate life’s simple pleasure.
Without the amenities or crowds of other ocean front towns, Keps beauty is in its simplicity. With a bigger beach, perhaps more people will be drawn to taking it slow.
Added bonus: Currently without an ATM to withdraw cash from, Acleda Bank confirmed that they will built an ATM in Kep, making the town more convenient than ever.
