Teuk Chhou Rapids
ទឹកឈូ
Rapids in a river valley about 8 km north of Kampot. Riverside bamboo huts line the banks, and it is a favorite spot for locals to picnic and swim on weekends.
Teuk Chhou Rapids sits on the upper reaches of the Kampot River, where the water slips over boulders to form shallow pools and small rapids. Rows of vendors rent bamboo huts and hammocks along the banks and sell Khmer picnic food such as grilled chicken and green mango salad. Cambodian families come in large numbers on weekends and public holidays. Tire tubing and kayaking are available nearby. Entry is very cheap, and the huts are rented by the time slot. It takes about 20 minutes by motorbike or tuk-tuk from Kampot. The current runs strong in the rainy season, so swim with caution.
