Kampot Yacht Club, International Village

What kind of place it is

Kampot Yacht Club is a restaurant and music venue rather than a quick-stop café. It draws a mix of locals, long-term residents and visitors, and it suits anyone who wants to spend an evening out without heading into the busier streets of town.

The setting is the main attraction. The club is in International Village, an area outside the town centre, and the old site describes the scenery here as a big part of the appeal. Kampot itself lies on the Preaek Tuek Chhu river, so expect the visit to be built around the waterside atmosphere.

Food and drink

The menu is international rather than focused on one national cuisine. The source mentions a wide range, running from familiar classics to more inventive dishes, with options that are light as well as heartier plates.

• Good for mixed groups, since the choice is broad.
• Suits a sit-down dinner more than a fast snack.
• No prices or opening hours are listed in our records, so check the Facebook page or ask locally before you go.

Live music

The club hosts live music from time to time, with both local and international performers. Acts vary, from solo singers to full bands, so the mood changes from one night to the next.

Tip: performances are occasional, not nightly. If music is the reason for your visit, look at the event schedule on the club's Facebook page first so you do not turn up on a quiet evening.

Getting there

International Village is just outside Kampot town, so you will need transport. A tuk-tuk or a rented scooter or bicycle are the usual choices. Use the Google Maps link on this page to pin the exact location, and arrange your ride back in advance if you are staying late, since evening traffic of tuk-tuks thins out beyond the centre.
