Lonely Planet review for Bokor Palace
The highlight of a visit to the hills station is the shell of the Bokor Palace , which has been stripped of everything of value. You can explore all four levels and the rooftop terrace, from which there's a magnificent view over dense jungles that stretch almost to the sea.
It's possible to wander up and down the corridors, around the kitchens and through the ballroom to the suites above, past variegated ceramic floors, tiled bathrooms and a giant fireplace where cocksure colonial French and wealthy Khmers could warm up on a nippy night.On cold, foggy days it can get pretty creepy up here as mists drop visibility to nothing and the wind howls through the building.

Not currently accessible
bigfatfurrycheese does not recommend this,
Hopefully this building will be restored & reopened in time, but when I visited in August 2011, it was fenced off & partly covered with scaffolding.
I've made a more detailed review on the "Bokor Hill Station" page
