Kep
Kep, on Cambodia's southern coast, is known for its collection of abandoned French colonial villas — left empty when the Khmer Rouge period drove out the country's elite — alongside proximity to Kep National Park and easy access to the water. The ruined and overgrown villas give the town an atmosphere distinct from other Cambodian coastal destinations, while the national park offers forested hills close to the shoreline.
