Border Guards.
Casinos.
Cock Fighting.
It’s all here in Prek Chak, Cambodia. Land border crossing between Southern Vietnam and Cambodia. Xa Xia, Vietnam Ha Tien crossing is from the Vietnamese side.
From the White Horse Statue in Kep, Cambodia, about a 40 minute drive to the border.
$8 for a motorcycle for the trip (or less); Tuk Tuks $15-$20, and a car for $20-$25.
Best to have your transport pre–arranged on both sides though. Lots of price gouging on both sides if you don’t.
There are 3 casinos on the Cambodian side of the border, all oriented towards Vietnamese.
A great cock fighting ring in one, with $50 minimum bets, but you better look Asian if you want to bet here.
The biggest casino, Ha Tien Vegas, has rooms, if you’re desperate. You probably don’t want to hang around here too long, as not much to do. (except gambling!) Also, a 20 minute drive to the Phnom Kampong Trach Caves.
If you’re going to Vietnam to get to Phu Quoc Island, think again. You can just go from Kampot at the Tourist Port straight to Phu Quoc (or back to Kampot). Quicker. Easier. More Fun. About $30 for a boat ticket and 50 minutes on the boat. No visa needed to enter Phu Quoc for 30 days.
