Bokor Highland resort in Kompot province.

Bokor Highland Resort is located in Kampot province. It shares a border with Vietnam to the east and extends into the Gulf of Thailand in the south. The resort is a modern Khmer integrated resort nested on the highland plateau of the historic Bokor Mountain.

32 kilometers and 1,101 meters up from road 3 near Kampot, is the Bokor Mountain Hill Station, in Bokor National Park.  Originally a small resort town, it is now an abandoned ghost town and National Park.  Except for the many tourist and Park personnel, and a few hundred construction workers that is.  Most famous for the abandoned Casino at the top of the mountain, there is also a church, buildings for the former king, and either a view of fog.

A paradise that was once the playground of the social elites and the Royalties. Bokor Highland Resort is the only highland integrated resort in the Greater Mekong region! The impressive build-up of 60,388 square meters at 1075 meters above sea level is blessed with stunning views of the Gulf of Thailand.

A virgin rainforest with exotic and rich flora and fauna and with an all year round cooling mountain climate of just 20 degrees. The best time to visit is between November to February when it is the coolest as the temperature can drop to the mid tens in the evening.

It is essentially a cool, inviting and stunningly beautiful paradise in Cambodia! Bokor Mountain comes into full play when the mist descends and being able to touch the clouds is simply magical. Specially the waterfall there is so amazing.
