I'm wondering if Phnom Bokor National Park is suitable for small children (5 and 7 years). There doesn't seem to be much there, only deserted buildings. And then I saw the reference to big snakes ............ oohhhh!! How long would it take to get there from Kampot - by car?

Hi, there isn't a great deal to 'do' at Bokor, its mostly the scenery. There are a couple of walks to do, but its mostly the old casino and church to see. The kids will love exploring the old casino. You can walk safely right through the building and onto the top balconies. One of the best things about Bokor is it's about 10-12 degrees cooler up there (a very refreshing change to the constant heat of Cambodia). Its about an hour drive from Krong Kampot up to Bokor, and its very windy road (just in case the kids get car sick). Also, Bokor is often in the clouds, so best to go on a cloudless day (otherwise there is no view of anything). Hope this helps. Tim.
Hi, thanks for review; we're biking up tomorrow. Was it relatively colder up there, i.e. should we bring warm jumpers/trousers?

Hey Evergreen, We went at the end of December and it was fairly warm at the top. Definitely needed a pair of sunglasses and perhaps a wind sheeter jacket. I don't think you need to be worried about it being incrementally colder at the top, but I would recommend checking the weather before you head that way. If you plan to go on the opposite direction of the casino to go hiking, be mindful that it was a long hiking trail (around 15 miles if I remember correctly) so go early :) Jealous that you are in Kampot! If you got to Nelly's Bar, say hi to Chen for us! Cheers, Divya
