Melek Dam was once a hot battleground between government troops and the Khmer Rouge, but now this potential site has become an attractive tourist destination, the third major tourist attraction in Kampot province. Melek Dam is a dam that can hold a lot of water to create a large lake, surrounded by mountains with a beautiful natural beauty. If the rainy season is dry, the water is clear and crystal clear, and if it is dry, it is cloudy. This large resort offers many different views depending on the season, which tourists often go to experience there without hesitation. The Kampot Provincial Tourism Department said that during the civil war, Melek Dam was a hot battleground between government troops and the Khmer Rouge, but under the leadership of the current government, this potential site has become an attractive tourist destination, the third major tourist attraction in Kampot province, after Bokor Mountain and the Teuk Chhou area.

The fish, meat, and vegetables used to make food are purchased from local people who find them in the village, lake, forest, etc. All food has a reasonable price list. In addition, there are group entertainment services that can be booked by groups of companies, schools, or other organizations, while the location is spacious and offers a wide range of tourism services. The owner of this tourist resort has a policy of continuously developing and improving its beauty because he understands that tourists always want to go to new and unique places, that is, they don't like the same things, so his resort must also be different often to continue to attract tourists to come and come back. It should be noted that the Melek Dam is located in Trapaing Chheuteal Village, Chres Commune, Chum Kiri District, Kampot Province, approximately 100 kilometers from Phnom Penh. Tourists must travel on National Road 3 and go a little beyond the border of Takeo and Kampot provinces. You will see a road that turns right and continue for about 5 kilometers. Tourists will definitely reach the Pepper Dam.
