Takeo(Khmer: តាកែវ) is the capital of the homonymous province in Cambodia. Even if it doesn't have the same tourist relevance as other cities in the country, a short detour to the city or a stop on the way to is worthwhile Kampot. The city is located in a very charming landscape surrounded by rice fields and canals.

- Mekong restaurant, near Grand Cafe Chisor.- Khmer cuisine with karaoke music
- Apsara restaurant, near Grand Cafe Chisor.- Khmer cuisine with karaoke music

nightlife
Takeo is a sleepy provincial town. There is hardly any nightlife - especially one according to our ideas. So you will end the day with a few drinks and a good book.
accommodation
The choice of accommodation is not huge. In addition, only the average guest house category is represented.
- Rasmey Mittapheap Guest House, next to the gas station where the bus from Phnom Penh also arrives. Price: $ US 10 / double room (AC, TV).- clean rooms
- Phnom Da Guest House, at the port, across from the speedboat departure point. Mobile: 855 (0)16-957639.

- Mittapheap Guest House, at the Independence Monument. Price: $ US 5/10 Fan / AC - double room with bath / toilet.- arguably the best place to stay in town

trips
- Phnom Da. 17 meter high temple from the 8th century on an approx. 100 m high hill. The trip is worth it just because of the journey.

You can watch farmers on the flooded, partially flooded rice fields as well as fishermen.Price: A boat trip costs $ US 24 - regardless of the number of people (maximum 6) - Admission: $ US 2.
- Angkor Borei. On the way to Phnom Da you can make a detour to this historical place. It used to be an important trading center. There is a small museum at the harbor (entrance fee: $ US 1).
- Phnom Chisor. Phnom Chisor is a mountain north of the city. On the summit there are some temple ruins from the 10th and 11th centuries. From the mountain you have a good view of the surroundings. The climb has 412 steps. There are simple drink stands halfway and at the foot of the mountain. You can take a moped for the 26-kilometer journey.
