Finding the station

The station is on Street 701 (Ekareach Street), one of the central roads of Kampot town. Look across the road for the Kampot Provincial Hall and the Lotus Pond; the police station sits directly opposite them. Because it is in the middle of town, you can reach it on foot from most guesthouses and cafes in the centre, or by a short tuk-tuk or moto ride from further out.

The map link on this page marks the exact entrance, which is worth opening before you set off.
