Kep sür mer

Kep sûr mer

 "Kep-sur-Mer"  located  just near the border with Vietnam, used to be Cambodia's most popular and prestigious beach town. From the early 1900s until the 1960s Kep was a thriving resort town for the French and Cambodian elite. During the Khmer Rouge years, much of Kep's French colonial era mansions and villas were destroyed. Many of Kep's villas are abandoned but some of the town's former splendour is still apparent. Nowadays local people are protecting the former mansions for the new elite in Pnomh Penh
