Cambodian Casino

This place was one of the three main highlights of my travels around Asia. We hiked up to the top of Bokor Hill being snared by bees, vicious plants (I have scars, seriously!), blood sucking leeches and other things besides. In addition to this when we reached the top we couldn't explore straight away because it was dusk and we therefore had to avoid the tigers. The next day... my god it was worth it!

 

The opportunity to explore such a fantastic place before it is destroyed by the Chinese - Sokimex want to re-vamp the place rather than leave it in all its glory - should be taken by anyone who has the opportunity and the strength to climb over 3000 feet in 100 degree heat and 100% humidity.
