โรงแรมใกล้ Tour des Français

The view from the top of the lighthouse is beautiful. You have to climb 4 flights of ladder-like stairs to get there. (The pictures attached was taken during a big flood so all the streets were covered with water in the village.)

Very nice to see but I was afraid of the stairs.

If this is supposed to be a tourist attraction it is in poor condition. Ok that it is free but hey. Soo dirry. It is all open, so lots of birds and pigeons living there. Birds poo everywhere. I admit I was not brave enough to go on top since the steps are very high and steep. And i have vertigo. The building is completely empty.

Monday 15 June: French Watch Tower I primarily walked across the Kizuna Bridge to see the French Watch Tower. According to Wander Lush: “Built in the 1920s by Kampong Cham’s colonial rulers, the watchtower served as a protection mechanism for the profitable rubber plantations around town. If bandits were approaching on the Mekong, a fire would be lit in the tower to warn the Governor, who had a direct line of sight to the tower from his house. The tower’s external plasterwork and vertiginous internal staircase (it’s more like a set of ladders) was restored in 2005.” Nope... I didn’t climb the ladders.....

It's an old tower but still charming. If you are not afraid from the stairs you can enjoy a great view from the top. Just be careful.
