Bokor Cambodia
Interesting article on an apparently recent trip to Bokor. The article mentions the road is currently closed.
Bokor figures prominently in the 2002 movie City of Ghosts. I see that Google Earth/Maps now has high resolution imagery of the immediate area.

Bokor is a fabulous place. I'd heard they were thinking of re-opening it to development. I wish they'd instead fix up the old villas and turn them into informal hotels. Some of those buildings are remarkable in their architectural style.

IIRC, the Sokimex/Sokha Hotel group has gotten a concession to develop the area at the top of Bokor -- I think I read that they were going to put in a golf course (shudder) among other things. They've been working on the access road for a while now, and it seems to be mostly closed (though occasionally open).
