A COLD BEER AT RUSTY GUESTHOUSE

Rusty Guesthouse in Kep Cambodia,

It's hot outside so a cold beer under the thatched roof at Rusty's. It's at the very far eastern end of Kep Town. Cheap hippie bungalows run by some laid back dudes. Located on a side road back from the main highway. Close to Kep Town, the restaurant serves a mixture of western and khmer food and it's pretty damn good. Hang if if you're a bike riding grubby backpacker, or just someone who needs the basics and doesn't want to blow a lot of dough.
