Having had a few more days in Phnom Penh to re-evaluate our position. We made the decision to move to Kampot and isolate ourselves there during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Choosing to use the booking portal Camboticket.com, we booked minivan tickets to Kampot with the Kampot Express Limousine bus company. A 3.5-hour journey on the 0800 hrs vehicle, costing 8.5 USD per person.
Using the Pass app, we booked a tuk tuk from our hotel, the TeaHouse, to the Kampot Express Limousine bus company office. From where the minibus departed, a 15-minute journey.
The road out of the city was good. Then it descended into a pot holed, axle breaking dirt track for about 45 mins. Again reverting back to good roads for the last part of the journey into Kampot.
Arriving in Kampot, the minivan dropped us at the Champa Mekong travel office. From there, using the Pass app again, we got a tuk tuk to our first week’s accommodation at the Bodia Retreat. A 15 minute journey out of the town centre.
