Hand Pump

Hand Pump is a fuel in Kep, Cambodia — one of 12 transport points we map across the province, and part of a wider dataset of 218 mapped locations in Kep. In Khmer it would be described as ស្ថានីយ៍ប្រេងឥន្ធនៈនៅកែប. It sits at 10.54678, 104.29109, which is the coordinate any Cambodian tuk-tuk or PassApp driver can be shown directly if the name is unfamiliar to them.

As a transport point, it serves both residents and visitors passing through Kep. It has no official website, so opening hours and prices are best confirmed by phone or by asking locally on the day — small businesses in Cambodia change hours seasonally and close for family events and festivals.

The easiest way to find Hand Pump is by nearby landmarks. It lies roughly 100 m north of Soup Seoul, and about 100 m north of kMbt phdHsMnnaaksaaraannii, with ABA a further 400 m north. Drivers in Kep usually navigate by these anchors rather than street numbers, so naming the closest one gets you there faster than an address.

From the centre of Kep, a tuk-tuk or PassApp ride is the standard way to arrive; short in-town trips generally cost US$1 to US$3, and longer provincial runs are worth agreeing in advance. Rented motorbikes are widely available from guesthouses, and self-driving is realistic on sealed roads in the dry season — less so between June and October, when heavy afternoon rain floods side streets and unpaved approaches. The "Get directions" link on this page opens the exact coordinates in Google Maps for turn-by-turn navigation.

Hand Pump is mapped as a fuel in Kep and functions as a pickup, drop-off or interchange point for local traffic. Long-distance buses and minivans in Cambodia mostly run on morning and early-afternoon departures, with the last services leaving in the late afternoon; overnight sleeper buses connect the main cities. Buy tickets a day ahead during festivals, when seats on every route sell out.

Tuk-tuks and app-based rides (PassApp, Grab) wait at most terminals and stations, and fixing the fare before you get in remains standard practice for street tuk-tuks. Allow extra time in the rainy season, when unsealed approach roads and provincial highways slow everything down.

Hand Pump is not isolated: our map records 8 other mapped locations within a short ride, including Soup Seoul (restaurant, 100 m north), kMbt phdHsMnnaaksaaraannii (guest house, 100 m north), ABA (bank, 400 m north), Sesor Market (marketplace, 400 m west). Pairing a visit here with one or two of those makes a more efficient half-day, especially if you are paying a driver by the trip rather than by the hour.
