Kep was the first Cambodian seaside tourist town. People began vacationing here in the 1920's. There were many villas owned by French and wealthy Camodians. The Khmer Rouge had a stong distaste for wealth and anyone with it. When they arrived in 1975, they blew up eveything that was nice. This first building is lived in by squatters. The building in the third image is owned by the king. He pays people to live in it so squatters don't. Note the nicely kept lawn and garden.
I'm a tagger!!!
Time to watch the sunset. More later.
Love, Doablah
