The drive up the mountain was very interesting, the jungle growth was fascinating, the monkeys on the road were cute (especially the many babies) and the road, although winding, was in excellent condition. It has been sealed since the review I read prior to my trip. On the top I preferred the historical, cultural and religious sites more than the new development. The short walk around the waterfall is worth it, but don't continue too far in to the jungle without being aware of the danger of meeting a tiger! Relax at the lake for a picnic. Lunch can be bought at the cafe near the waterfall. The view from the top is awesome.

There isn't much to see anymore, as the area is under development and the once abandoned buildings are being converted into hotels and such, or torn down. With the increase in development, everything is double or triple what you'd expect to pay in town (so bring water up with you)...
It's definitly not worth booking a tour, but it's a nice ride if you rent your own motorbike. The roads are nice and easy to ride, but you need to watch out for the countless idiot drivers/riders who cross the centerline and/or pass on blind corners. On our way down we saw a head on collision with a motorbike and large truck, so be careful and take it slow. Make sure you bring layers, as it gets cool up top.

The Bokor national park was amazing. It takes around 1 hour ride with a motorcycle, and the road to get there is perfect. Definitely recommend the motorcycle because you will have more freedom to explore and it is free. Tours are around 10 dollars, for I don't know what exactly since there is no entrance fee.
The French ruins where amazing. We where surprised there is a hotel still working over there. You should definitely visit that on your way as well.
The view from the top is just stunning. It takes few hours to visit everything, and it is better to go in the morning.

We had an amazing day on Bokor! It was easy to find a tuk tuk in the Kampot city center to take us up and down. You can have great views of the city and see the ocean from many viewpoints on the way up. We stopped by the giant statue and explored the many abandoned structures nearby. They were super cool!! We also saw a giant monkey. It was a very peaceful day and I highly recommend this trip!

We had a Day trip from Kampot to the National Park. I guess most people visiting a National Park are expecting to visit pure nature. But on the way to Bokor Mountain there is only a little secondary rainforest left. Coming to the Mountain Plateau you see only a huge construction site and terrible older buildings. There is just a buddhist temple that is worth to visit. The waterfall on the edge of the remaining firest is dry in the dry Saison. We stoppen at a renowed bin hotel with no guess. But they are building more hotel buildings, dont know for whom! They are even not charging you for the entre because they know that there is not much to visit left.

Came on the recommendation of our hostel owner as it was a clear view and she said the views would be nice. Took approx 30 mins to get to the national park and probably about an hour in total to get to any of the landmarks. There are several buildings that are either new and not yet in use or old and abandoned giving the whole place a real ghost town feel. the “secret lake” turned out to be a water dam (no swimming) with some abandoned pedal boats rusting alongside. The church was dilapidated and covered in graffiti. Alright view on the hill above the church. Probably not worth the visit, but it was a nice ride up the winding roads.

Profoundly saddening to see a national park being sold off, logged and developed for pure commercial gain.
There is a huge amount of massive building and development going on here.
Shame on you all....

I have heard people talk about the 100 Rice Fields (sometimes referred to as 500 Rice Fields) but didn't know what they were talking about or where it was. I stumble across it by accident. Just past the new casino, I turned up the road before the new Wat. That took me up to Wat Sampov Pram, a beautiful old temple with some spectacular views. Coming out of that wat, I turned left, assuming it would take me back out to the main road just past the casino. Instead, it tool me a long back way toward Popokvil waterfall and, as it turned out, just past the 100 Rice Fields.
To understand this attraction, if that is what you want to call it, you need to think of how Cambodia is built. Most of the country is flat, with mountains popping up here and there and a lot of rice fields in between. This is a very large area, many acres, with big rocks jutting straight up out of the ground; a kind of microcosm of the Cambodian countryside. You can stand on a rock and feel like a giant on top of a mountain, looking down on the numerous rice fields below.
That's it. Nothing more. To be honest, the effect could be heightened a great deal if someone did some gardening. When I went the grass was high and a number of bushes were growing in places that essentially hindered the effect. If the casino, which promotes this place all the time, were to spend a few bucks to cut the grass and pull the errant bushes, this would be an interesting place to visit. As it is, it is hard to see why anyone would venture out of their way, even if it is on the way to Popokvil Falls.

Hi, I'm interested in Nepenthes Bokorensis, is it easy to find inside the national park ? Or is there a restricted place to find that? Thanks

I'm wondering if Phnom Bokor National Park is suitable for small children (5 and 7 years). There doesn't seem to be much there, only deserted buildings.
And then I saw the reference to big snakes ............ oohhhh!!
How long would it take to get there from Kampot - by car?

Hi, there isn't a great deal to 'do' at Bokor, its mostly the scenery. There are a couple of walks to do, but its mostly the old casino and church to see. The kids will love exploring the old casino. You can walk safely right through the building and onto the top balconies. One of the best things about Bokor is it's about 10-12 degrees cooler up there (a very refreshing change to the constant heat of Cambodia).
Its about an hour drive from Krong Kampot up to Bokor, and its very windy road (just in case the kids get car sick). Also, Bokor is often in the clouds, so best to go on a cloudless day (otherwise there is no view of anything).
Hope this helps. Tim.

Hi, thanks for review; we're biking up tomorrow. Was it relatively colder up there, i.e. should we bring warm jumpers/trousers?

Hi, at the end of November, it was warm too. I think the temperature was quite the same as in Kampot, just humidity was lower, so we felt more comfortable. Regards, Jakub
