...unflattering - and undeserved - image is now changing. As a natural resource with unique, health-boosting properties, seaweed is showing up in an increasing variety of products as companies find new ways to market the renewable marine resource.

Nestled amid lush vegetation in the old resort community of Kep (or Kep-sur-Mer as it was known to the French), Knai Bang Chatt is a roughly three-hour, mostly coastal drive from Phnom Penh and is the brainchild of Belgians Jef Moons and Boris Vervoordt. While making their own pilgrimage to Angkor in 2003, the intrepid duo took a detour and immediately...
