Bokor rises straight out of the plain behind Kampot, and the road up is one of the great rides in Cambodia. At the top: cool air, jungle views down to the sea, and the old buildings of a 1920s French hill station — with Seth filling in the history the signs leave out.
The route
Lok Yeay Mao statue
The giant guardian of travellers, with views over the coast.
Old Catholic church
The weathered 1920s church on the plateau's edge.
Bokor Palace & the Black Palace
The 1920s French hill-station hotel (restored and open again as a hotel) and King Sihanouk's former retreat.
Wat Sampov Pram & Popokvil waterfall
The 'five boats' temple and the two-tier waterfall (fullest in the wet season).
Good for
- Cooler weather
