Bokor National park development in Kampot

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

That's a fantastic addition to the landscape. The Bokor Palace Hotel looks like it's rapidly heading back to its previous state.

Fantastic indeed. Maybe it's the framework for the small toe of the foot of the future giant Buddha statue? :unknown:
Or else, maybe a small (slightly crumpled, but not totally crushed) insect come to worship at the shrine ? Don't forget that this statue is going to be HUGE.

That all looks just horrible, what an epic line-up of eye sores.

Interesting location - just across from where the Chinese scam operations are ramping up again - good way to disguise all the comms equipment up there

Just stumbled upon this thread.

From someone who hiked up Mt Bokor about a decade ago, I am speechless. Horrified. :cry:

It's the same in China and Vietnam. They will be annihlate anything and everything beautiful and natural in the name of $. To make matters worse, it's all in that disgusting faux-opulence style so prevalent in the region. Like an obnoxious homage to French architecture, but the fake gucci 40 cent equivalent of french architecture.

All done on the cheap with poor workmanship, so it ends up looking decrepit within 5 years.

I despair for the region over the next 10-20 years.
