I decided to rent and learn how to ride a motorbike in Kampot. I rented the bike from the guesthouse I was staying at because I knew the people there and trusted them, even so I was aware of the scams. Renters will give you the bike and ask for your passport as a deposit, then when you return the bike they will point out all the "scratches that weren't there" and demand repair money or you don't get your passport back. Even though I didn't take these guys to be scammers I explained to them the situation and they encouraged my filming and taking pictures of the condition of the bike. It all turned out completely fine but better to be safe than sorry.
Where did I go with my new motorbike?
To the adjacent town of Kep, famous for their crab markets. Another fun fact: Kampot pepper is world renowned and sought after by gourmet chefs. Put the two together and what do you get?
Fried crab with Kampot green pepper aka my new standard for a crab meal. The basket floating in the water in the background is where they catch the crabs, I literally watched them catch my dinner. I came back to the crab market two other times with friends who hadn't been. I couldn't get enough.
