Description
Bokor Casino Wall – Bokor National Park: Bokor Hill
Station is located at 1000 metres and overlooks the jungle and
the sea. In its heyday in the 1920s, Bokor’s casino and hotel
were a playground for the international jet set. When one walks
through the eerie shell of the building, one can still picture
ladies in evening gowns and men in top hats descending
down the central staircase. Now, moss covers the walls.
Once the wars came, the jet set disappeared and the Bokor
plateau became a battleground between the Khmer Rouge
and the Vietnamese army. Today the Bokor mountain and the
jungle have been turned into a national park and western
travelers hold New Year’s Eve rave parties in the casino shell.
