Bokor Hill Station, also known as Bokor National Park, is a mountain resort and national park in Kampot Province, Cambodia. The hill station was built in the early 1920s by the French colonial administration, who were seeking a cool retreat from the hot and humid climate of Phnom Penh. The site was chosen for its pleasant weather and scenic views of the surrounding mountains and coastline.
The centerpiece of the hill station is the Bokor Palace Hotel and Casino, which was once a grand resort for the wealthy elite. The hotel was abandoned during the Khmer Rouge regime, but has since been partially restored and is now a popular tourist attraction. Other notable structures in the area include a Catholic church, a post office, and a series of colonial villas.
The national park surrounding the hill station is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including elephants, tigers, and macaques. Visitors can take guided walks through the park to explore the trails and view the wildlife. There are also several waterfalls and scenic viewpoints in the area, including the Popokvil Waterfall and the Thansur Bokor Highland Resort.
