"Expats in Kampot often appreciate the warm and welcoming nature of the local people. They are known for their friendliness and willingness to help, which makes settling in much easier. The relaxed pace of life is another aspect that expats enjoy. Kampot is a small town with a laid-back atmosphere, allowing expats to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.
