Kampot Writers & Readers Festival

About

Held each November in the charming riverside town of Kampot, this is Southeast Asia's most intimate and beloved literary festival — four days of author talks, panel discussions, poetry readings, book launches, and late-night conversations between writers, journalists, and readers from across the region and internationally. The relaxed atmosphere, colonial French architecture, riverside settings, and Kampot's legendary pepper and crab make this festival a genuinely special gathering for lovers of literature and ideas.
