End 2025 in Style: A Coastal Escape With Knai Bang Chatt

If you have ever dreamed of ending the year somewhere between cinematic escape and soulful reset, Knai Bang Chatt by Kep West is giving you and your loved ones exactly that. From 28 to 31 December 2025, this coastal sanctuary in Cambodia invites you on an exclusive festive journey — beginning with a private luxury train ride from Phnom Penh and culminating in barefoot luxury by the sea in Kep.

All Aboard the Golden Age of Travel

Your journey begins in vintage glamour at Phnom Penh train station. You and your loved ones will be welcomed with coffee and pastries before boarding a privately chartered train reserved exclusively for Knai Bang Chatt travellers. Inside: white-linen tables, fine wines, and a seafood lunch curated by the Kep West culinary team. As the train glides through the Cambodian countryside, time slows down — and so does everything else.

Upon arrival at Kep Station, tuk-tuks await to whisk you through coastal roads to Knai Bang Chatt, where cool towels and a sea breeze welcome you home. That evening, sunset cocktails await at The Deck, followed by a seafood dinner at Crab & Co. — a reimagining of Kep’s most iconic flavours through Kep West’s signature lens.

Wake to Wellness, Sea, and Discovery

Your mornings begin gently — with optional yoga and sea-view meditation. Day two brings a private dolphin-spotting cruise where breakfast is served at sea, followed by a visit to a remote island led by Marine Conservation Cambodia. There, you will explore coral restoration efforts and enjoy a barefoot beach BBQ under the trees, before sailing back to shore for an afternoon of rest or discovery.

Prefer something inland? Day three offers a guided cultural tour — including colonial villas, pepper plantations, hilltop pagodas, and the vibrant Crab Market. Lunch is served cliffside at The Wave, followed by spa sessions, sailing lessons, or a quiet moment by the pool. As the sun sets, you will embark on a private sunset cruise with champagne and canapés, and an optional wine-paired Chef’s Table Degustation Dinner for those who want to end the day with a flourish.

Festive Without the Fuss

To keep the celebration going, you can extend your stay with Knai Bang Chatt’s End-of-Year Party and New Year’s Brunch. Expect live music, signature cocktails, and a joyful celebration of everything that was — and everything to come. Whether you return to Phnom Penh by rail or road, you will leave not just rested, but inspired.
