Bokor Hill
Bokor Hill is located 42 km from the provincial town. It was erected by French colonists in 1922 during the reign of King Sisowath. Bokor was a resort location for affluent French colonists who needed a change of atmosphere.
The Bokor Hill is 1,075 meters high, and promises good weather and magnificent views. Big trees casting shadows over the water and rocks shaped as animal figures hold particular interest for tourists. The mountain overlooks Kampot Town, Kep Beach, Preah Sihanouk Province and blue sea water.
Teuk Chhou Rapids
Cross the main river in Kampot Town, turn right down a wide dirt road and after about seven kilometers you will come to one of the most peaceful, pleasant little hideaways in the province. Although referred to as waterfalls by locals, Teuk Chhou is in fact a series on sparkling natural rapids with crystal clear water which is always cool and fresh. A line of food stalls satisfy picnic makers with everything from fruit to whole roast chicken and catfish, to banana and coconut roasted in banana leaves (a specialty of Kampot).
Teuk Chhou Wildlife Education Park
Several kilometers away from Kompot’s Teuk Chhou waterfall, there is a wildlife education park operated by a nonprofit organization. In fact, it is originally privately run, but because of detecting the problem of poor condition of taking care of animals, Footprints nonprofit organization takes over. The Park is medium level but has a large space, and the animals locate at different locations, so it allows visitors to drive in to visit. The park has many types of animals such as various monkeys, wild boar, ostrich, elephant, lion, tiger, cheetah, etc.
