Former Bokor Hall Building

June 7, 2012 · by Cheaphal · in Architecture, Buildings in Colonial Period, Cambodia, Travel

When I first saw the renovated former Bokor Hall, I thought it was a newly constructed building. It was until I saw an old photo of this building that I realized that it was renovated recently. Even though the overall shape was kept the same, I personally feel it no longer look like an old colonial building. To date, it is the only building fully renovated on the former colonial hill station.

Now it serves as the residence for the chairman of Sokimex Group who is behind the mega development project on Bokor Hill.

Come on. Even most of pros back in 2001 still used film. I got my first digital compact camera in 2002 but i did not made much use of it.

បើតាមមើលរូបអតីតនេះជាព្រះរាជតំណាក់ហ្លួងមុនីវង្ស រាជការគួរតែប្រគល់អាគារនេះ ជូនទៅខាងព្រះបរមរាជវាំង ឬកែប្រែជាសារមន្ទីរប្រវត្តិសាស្ត្រដើម្បីរំឭកទៅដល់ព្រះអង្គ។

According to an old map, it was Town Hall and Governor’s Office. I have just confirmed it.
