Kep


The best breakfast in town is at the hotel Knai Bang Chatt, with an array of Khmer and Western morning favourites, fresh salad, pastries and eggs done every which way. The restaurant can also arrange a special menu for a 'floating dinner' at a secluded, candlelit table out on a dock over the sea.
