The Run to Kampot
What you have to leave Kep for — the hospital, a bank, a full shop — and what one round trip to Kampot costs in fuel.
Kep is a small place, and for a lot of daily needs the honest answer is "that's in Kampot" — about 25 km and half an hour west. This is what actually forces the run, so you can batch a trip and make it worth the drive, and what one round trip costs in fuel.
