Mist clings to the road as a minivan winds up toward Phnom Bokor, the air cooling and the views peeling back to reveal the Gulf of Thailand. Travelers arrive to a quiet compound of weathered French colonial facades, an abandoned hotel and a church—structures that stare out over lowland rice and mangrove flats while gulls wheel below. The day moves from slow, contemplative ruins to the rush of a mountain waterfall, then finishes with the low light and local rhythms of a Kampong Bay river sunset cruise.
