  Travelling to Phnom Chhngok Cave Temple is off the road to Kep, but travelling there on the winding dirt road could be very tiring. However, passing past scenic views of the Cambodian countryside, featuring paddy fields, small farms and limestone formations covered in dense vegetation, should suitably compromise. The largest cave is the home of an ancient red-brick temple resting under a massive rock formation resembling an eagle. Chhngok Cave temple was probably erected during the 7th century, particularly within a pre-Angkorian era known as the Funan period in Cambodia.

  Secret Lake or Brateak Krola Lake isn't really a lake at all. The secret lake is actually a dam. During the Khmer Rouge era, a dam was built with slave labor. It's a huge lake, especially for a man-made one. It is well worth the journey. This is the Cambodia we had hoped to discover.

  The market is a great place to learn about Cambodian seafood culture. You can watch the fishermen bring in their catch, and you can even bargain with the vendors to get the best price on your seafood.
