The day after we touched base in Kampot, we saw instances of the Khmer Rouge frenzy when we visited Bokor Hill Station close Kampot. In it's prime, there was an inn, clubhouse and church over Bokor Hill, that blossomed with the extravagance of the rich. Be that as it may, when the Khmer Rouge assumed control, they totally wrecked the place, and it's consistent with say the place is an apparition town. Strolling through the old lodging you can nearly detect the spirits. The Khmer Rouge took everything from it, including the wiring inside the dividers. You can see where mortar shells have blown through windows and blown separated stairwells. As the fog attracted as we were there, it gave a genuine feeling of the spooky trouble of the place; not a place you'd need to be during the evening. Be that as it may, it is a decent place to visit to see the impacts of the Khmer Rouge years, without seeing the torment that occurred.
