KOTE offers more than just homestay or Airbnb experiences. It brings the rich history of Kampot to life through "Sakun’s Kampot." Each week, we’ll share an excerpt from this captivating book, which traces the evolution of Kampot over the past 180 years. The book is available on Amazon for purchase online as well.

The fourth weekly extract from “Sakun’s Kampot”

In 1851 a road was built from Oudong to the fledgling Kampot. It had wooden bridges and way-stations – with stabling for horses and employing local villagers to take care of overnight travellers – along its length.

Kampot quickly became a lively port with warehouses, shops and accommodation for traders and merchants who bought rice, cardamom, pepper and a variety of fruits from its hinterland. In just one year Kampot generated nearly 17,000 English pounds sterling of trade and attracted interest from the established trading hubs of Malacca, Singapore and Bangkok.

Ang Duong quickly grew to love Kampot and held a ‘grande feste’ there in 1856 to welcome his son back from Bangkok. Three years later, a year before his death, Ang visited the town with an entourage of 70 elephants, many horses, a harem of twenty young women and several mandarins (provincial officials). At least the peasants who lived along the road from Oudong could see what their hard-earned taxes were being used for by the king!

Our third weekly extract from “Sakun’s Kampot”

“The Ang dynasty was forced to retreat across the Siamese border to Bangkok. It was 1841 before Ang Duong could return, with an army led by Siamese General Bodin, to retake his capital, Oudong.

The Annamese subsequently withdrew from Kampot in the face of Ang Duong’s men and retreated to Ha Tien and, finally, to Chau Doc. Kampot was now back with a Cambodian king and would never be outside Cambodia again.

What followed can be seen as Kampot and Cambodia’s heyday – which is why the statue of Ang Duong dominates the Kampot promenade and evokes feelings of national pride among locals.

Having pushed the Annamese back across the border, Ang Duong wanted access to the outside world, but without the lack of control that border town Ha Tien and the Mekong offered. As a result, he chose to build a national port on the estuary of a river system that lay entirely within Cambodia – what today is known as the Kampot River – and so the town of Kampot was born.” (page 3)

Kampot on the edge (KOTE) offers more than just homestays or Airbnb experiences. It brings the rich history of Kampot to life through "Sakun’s Kampot." Each week, we’ll share an excerpt from this captivating book, which traces the evolution of Kampot over the past 180 years. The book is available on Amazon for purchase online as well.

**Check out our second quote below!

“Around 1815 the Annamese crossed the delta and pushed westwards. In an act of unusual cooperation King Ang Eng, Ang Duong’s predecessor, and the Annamese emperor both agreed it would be useful to construct a waterway from the Bassac River westwards to the coastline. This canal would allow junks full of goods to take a short cut into the Gulf of Siam (Thailand) and avoid a much longer trip down the Bassac and round the Ca Mau peninsula into the gulf.

And so the Vinh Te Canal was built by a combined force of 5,000 Cambodians, who worked to keep their king’s part of the bargain, and 5,000 Annamese. It was 30 metres across, 2.7 metres deep and started at Chau Doc, emerging on the coastline at Ha Tien. However upon completion of the joint venture, the Annamese emperor unilaterally declared the northern bank of the canal to be the border between the two kingdoms, robbing Cambodia of Kampuchea Krom apparently forever. “ (page 2)
