Kampot pepper plantations

Visited easily from both Kampot and Kep, the plantations that grow the famous Kampot pepper make another great day trip.

Some are more touristy or commercialised than others, so you can pick which one to visit based on whether you just want to see a working farm, or if you also want to take part in tourist activities, such as demonstrations of farming techniques, or pepper tastings.

I booked a day trip with one of the plantations directly, via their website. It included pickup at my guesthouse, various activities at the plantation including a guided tour and a tasting of various types of pepper, and lunch in their onsite restaurant. It was a nice day out.

Oxen are still used in farming (although probably more for the tourists than out of necessity); this one was having a bath
