Our top 10 places to stay in and around Chi Phat
Chill out
A very comfortable option just a few minutes’ walk from the CBET centre, Bear Cat has six rooms in the upstairs part of their large wooden home.
The rooms are simple, but spotlessly clean, with mid-size beds, and they also include some furniture for keeping your stuff off the floor, which is always a good thing in Cambodia (lest you find a nasty surprise stowed away). The bathroom is a wet room with squat toilet and a bucket shower. It too was scrupulously clean. If you want to relax away from the CBET centre, they have a spacious balcony with table and chairs to chill out on.
We have to say, the dogs here are the friendliest, happiest we’ve met for a very long time, and yes we do judge people by how they treat animals.
