The Old Palace Hotel first appears on 90 minutes as Jimmy (Matt Dillon) approaches it from the south-west but sadly whilst we were there I didn’t visit this particular spot which is a little annoying as I had all the screen shots with me! Instead, I include my first glimpse of the place. As mentioned in the previous post the old structure was obscured by mist and fog when we arrived with visibility cut down substantially. All fascinating stuff but it is the last decade which is of most interest to Tokyo Fox when ‘ City Of Ghosts‘ (2002) and ‘ R-Point‘ (2004) were filmed there. Old Casino Hotel is shrouded in history with tales to tell from within its walls since construction began around a century ago. Further online research informed me that a Korean movie had also been filmed there which I alerted my friend Mostyn to ahead of his visit to the area in January 2011 and thankfully he bought both films on DVD so I was able to borrow and re-watch them ahead of this trip. Ever since I saw ‘ City Of Ghosts‘ for the first time in 2010 I have been interested in the Old Bokor Hill location which appears towards the end of the movie.
