Anlong Thom Waterfall

Description

Anlong Thom is a waterfall and rock-pool destination in the Prek Thnot area west of Kampot. It also appears as Prek Thnot Waterfall or Anlong Khiev in travel references. The name points to a smaller nature outing, not the better-known falls of Bokor’s upper plateau. Access and water conditions are the deciding factors, so plan with current local guidance rather than an old photograph.

How to Get There

From Phnom Penh, take a bus, minivan or car to Kampot on the National Road 3 corridor. Tuk-tuks and cars connect the town with nearby countryside stops.

For Anlong Thom Waterfall, continue toward Kampot. A car or motorbike covers the local road section; use the established approach for the final walk and keep a return vehicle for a countryside outing.

Admission

Entry, parking and activities can be charged separately at recreation sites. A reliable current tariff is not published in the reviewed sources; keep a separate cash allowance for the visit rather than relying on an old quoted price.

Things to Do

Choose activities that are open and suitable for your group; confirm current arrangements before starting.

What to Eat

Try seafood with Kampot pepper, rice dishes or local noodle soup. The old town and riverfront give you more meal choices than a remote waterfall or cave.

Where to Stay

The old-town and riverfront areas of Kampot make a convenient base for restaurants and day trips. Countryside and riverside lodges suit visitors who prefer to stay outside town.

Best Time to Visit

Water flow is usually stronger during and after the rainy season, while the dry season can expose more rock. Visit in daylight and avoid the stream during heavy rain or a sudden rise in water level.

Before You Go

Wear grippy shoes and avoid jumping into unknown pools. Water can rise or become fast after rain; a shallow-looking section is not proof of safety. Keep the surroundings free of rubbish.
