Bokorland theme park on Bokor Mountain

Where the project stands

Bokorland is a proposed theme park, and it belongs to the larger Bokor City development on the mountain plateau west of Kampot. The park is still in the planning and construction stage. No opening date, ticket prices, ride list or opening hours have been published, so treat any figures you see elsewhere with caution.

If you are heading up the mountain now, plan around the sights that already exist rather than counting on the park.

Why a theme park matters for the area

A large attraction like this is usually justified by what it could bring to the surrounding region. The arguments made for Bokorland are these:

• Revenue: visitors, both foreign and Cambodian, bring spending into the local economy.
• Jobs: building and running a park needs people in management, entertainment and services.
• Infrastructure: a project of this size tends to require new or upgraded roads, utilities and amenities nearby.
• Community life: a park can host events and become a regular meeting place for local people.
• Wider appeal: it would offer something for different ages and interests, widening what the region has to offer visitors.

These are the expected benefits, not results. Whether they materialise depends on how the project is completed and run.

What to do for now

Bokor Mountain already has plenty to see, including the national park, the old hill station buildings and the surrounding scenery. Check the current state of the road and the individual sights before you go, since the area is changing as the Bokor City development progresses.

Because the park is not open, there is no need to build a day around it. Revisit this page for updates as the project moves forward.
