Kampot Town
By no means can the crumbling old buildings at Bokor Mountain Hill Station compete with the grandeur of Angkor Wat, but this charming coastal town and stunning surroundings offer a look into Cambodia's more recent history: the one under the French rule from 1864 to 1953.
The wide river, mountains, lush nature and friendly people make this an ideal place for true relaxation.
It is well worth renting a bicycle or a motorbike for a day or two. It gives you the opportunity to peek into rural Cambodian life set amidst acres and acres of rice fields and pepper and fruit plantations. Main roads are most often well paved and have little traffic, roads into villages and further afield are generally dirt tracks.
Architecture
Kampot has been the administrative center for southern Cambodia for hundreds of years and is home to a striking collection of colonial architecture - much of the movie City of Ghosts was filmed here. The characteristic 'Old Bridge' shows the wear and tear it has had to endure.
