For guests seeking a seaside getaway without venturing to the islands, Knai Bang Chatt in the charming town of Kep is the perfect retreat. From the hotel, you can enjoy a variety of water activities. Our favourite is a trip with a local fisherman, where you can learn traditional fishing techniques and savour a delicious seafood barbecue… The beachfront bar offers one of the most stunning sunset views! Learn more
