Ghost Town

---

From Kampot it is an easy day trip up to Bokor Hill Station. The road is a rocky uphill climb by 4WD. Bokor was built in 1925 by the French for a coastal mountain retreat and includes a hotel, casino, Catholic church and a small get away home for the King. Abandonded decades ago, these buildings were also occupied by the Khmer Rouge in the late 1970's.

As we wandered around the old hotel and church our guide assured us the area was clear of landmine's. Our trip also included a trek to some nearby waterfalls.

In the near future, there will be a luxury 8 story hotel built here and promises by the developer to restore some of the historic buildings.
